Western Kentucky is in for a couple of weeks of relatively calm weather, but that certainly does not mean spring severe weather season is over.
Rick Shanklin is the warning coordination meteorologist at the National Weather Service in Paducah and appeared Monday morning on WHOP. He says there doesn’t appear to be any major storm systems in the forecast for the next couple weeks.
He says there are indications the weather pattern could become more active toward the end of April.
The most important thing to remember during severe weather season or any other month is to have multiple ways to receive a warning when one is issued.
