Tri-State in bullseye for nocturnal tornadoes

The National Weather Service in Paducah has confirmed what many in the Tri-State already suspected:  We have a lot of tornadoes that occur in the overnight hours.

Using Data from 1950-2005, the NWS has identified a "Nocturnal Tornado Alley".  As the chart shows, more than 40% of our tornadoes have occured at night.

Between 1996 and 2012, 46 people have died in tornadoes in the Paducah warning area (most of the Tri-State).

Record string of record highs

Tuesday marked the 4th consecutive day of record high temperatures. We will likely break another record on Wednesday to extend the streak to 5 days in a row of hottest-ever temperatures. This will tie the 5-day streak from August 15-19 set in 1936, the hottest year on record. If we set another record on Thursday, we will have the longest string of records since 1898. By the way, the hottest temperature ever recorded in March was 87 degrees on March 24, 1929.

Temperatures have been 10-degrees above normal for the month of March.

More record highs today and Tuesday. High temperatures on Tuesday could reach 85-degrees. Temperatures that would be normal for the first week in June.
