It's Winter Weather Preparedness Week

By Barry Wright

PADUCAH, KY - Winter is a little over a month away, and it's not too early for you to start turning your attention toward wintry weather. Forecasters at the National Weather Service office in Paducah will spend this week informing you about the threat of winter hazards during Winter Weather Preparedness Week, which runs now through Saturday. Mike York is the National Weather Service Paducah Winter Weather Program Leader. He says forecasters are predicting that we will have a La Nina winter this year. “And what that means for our area, typically in a La Nina winter, we have I guess you would call it highly variable weather where we have some snow, but we also tend to have more severe thunderstorms in the wintertime during La Ninas,” York said. “So one of the things we are advising the public is to be ready for the possibility of tornadoes this winter. It’s happened before. We had them in 1999. We had quite a bit of severe weather, severe thunderstorms that winter, and that’s something that we need to keep in the back of our minds as we go through this winter.” York says weather records show that snowfall during La Ninas actually is about average. Now during Winter Weather Preparedness Week, York says there will be a different wintry topic addressed each day on the Paducah National Weather Service web page (link below).
