June 9, 20206 yr Author From the National Weather Service Paducah: Scattered storms are expected today, some of which may become severe this afternoon. Locally torrential downpours and gusty winds will be the main threats. Isolated, brief tornadoes will be possible, especially from mid afternoon into the early evening hours. In the atmosphere we have today, if any tornadoes do form they will be of the type that spin up very suddenly, possibly with very little advance notice. If you are in a mobile home or other particularly vulnerable location, you may wish to seek shelter in a more secure spot well before storms actually approach. If you feel you may need to go to a public tornado shelter today, the CDC recommends preparing a "go kit" with personal need items including hand sanitizer and cloth face coverings.
