Brutally cold temperatures to stick around, flurries possible in the mid-week

Winter Storm Fern is behind us, but her brutally cold temperatures and leftover snow and ice will stick with us for a while, as temperatures are expected to stay below freezing the rest of the week.

Meteorologist Andy Lesage with the National Weather Service in Paducah says everyone is feeling the impacts from that winter storm, and we’ll continue to feel them all the way into next week, as temperatures will barely reach freezing, and wind chills will bring things down into the negatives.

Lesage says there’s a chance we could see a little more snow fall Wednesday or Thursday, but the models aren’t in agreement on that just yet. Whatever did fall likely wouldn’t be more than a dusting.

In the 8-to-14-day outlook, temperatures look to stay below average, but also shows below average precipitation chances, which Lesage says is just fine by him.

It’s possible that additional Cold Warnings will need to be issued in the coming week, so stay tuned to the National Weather Service and the WHOP Family of Stations for any watches or warnings that may come up this week.
