WEATHER SUMMARY
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PADUCAH KY
312 PM CST SAT NOV 8 2008

THAT LARGE AREA OF LOW PRESSURE OVER THE GREAT LAKES REGION IS
CONTINUING TO SPIN AND PRODUCE MUCH OF THE CLOUD COVER WE ARE
EXPERIENCING THIS AFTERNOON. THIS LOW IS PARENT TO A STRONG COLD
FRONT THAT PUSHED THROUGH OUR AREA EARLY YESTERDAY MORNING AND HAS
ALLOWED FOR TEMPERATURES TO DROP SIGNIFICANTLY FROM TWO DAYS AGO.

COOLER TEMPERATURES WILL LAST WELL INTO THE WEEKEND AND CONTINUE
WELL INTO THE UPCOMING WORK WEEK. THE C.W.A. SHOULD REMAIN RAIN
FREE THROUGH OUT THE WEEKEND...BUT AS WE TRANSITION INTO NEXT
WEEK...IT LOOKS LIKE ANOTHER AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WILL DEVELOP
JUST TO OUR SOUTH AND PROVIDE US WITH A FEW DAYS OF CLOUDS AND
RAIN. THERE IS EVEN THE SLIGHT CHANCE OF SOME THUNDER BY TUESDAY
EVENING. BY THURSDAY, THE SUN SHOULD RETURN BUT WILL NOT PROVIDE
MUCH AFTERNOON WARMTH.

IN THE UPPER LEVELS, IT LOOKS LIKE DEEP TROUGHING IS GOING TO
STICK AROUND FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE, AND THAT MEANS COOLER
TEMPERATURES ARE HERE TO STAY. WE MAY EVEN GET AN EARLY TASTE OF
WINTER ON A FEW OF THOSE DAYS.
