SOUTHERN ILLINOIS – Our region is finally getting some much needed rainfall.
Multiple rounds of showers/thunderstorms will provide soaking rains broadly across the region this week according to the National Weather Service in Paducah.
Two to three inches are expected with locally higher amounts possible.
A pleasant retreat from still muggy highs in the lower 80s will transition into the 70s as the week wears on, and humidity levels will soon follow with a similar downward trend toward the end of the week into next weekend, when dry weather returns.
