Good Monday evening. A line of strong and severe storms continues to work eastward across the state. Damaging winds and large hail will continue to be the main threats from these storms. A new SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH has now been issued for much of central and eastern Kentucky until 1am.

Good Monday afternoon everyone. Thunderstorms are rolling across much of western Kentucky and these will come rolling eastward through the evening. These storms may bring large hail and damaging winds with them. The Storm Prediction Center has issues a Severe Thunderstorm Watch for parts of western and north central Kentucky until 10pm EDT.

Good Monday everyone and thanks for dropping by the center. We are kicking off Kentucky Derby week on a rather toasty note and temps will likely head toward the hot side of the thermometer before the week is over. This is also a pattern conducive for rounds of thunderstorms and some of those boomers may crank up later today.

We have a washed out front across the Ohio Valley and this will act to help fire up scattered storms today with a better shot coming tonight and Tuesday.

Here’s the latest on today’s threat from the Storm Prediction Center…

Highs today will head into the low and middle 80s across the entire state. Here’s the rest of the week in headlines…

- The storms on Tuesday may be fairly widespread and that may knock a few degrees off from where we are today.

- Wednesday and Thursday have a chance to be hot. These days may see lower storm chances and more sun with highs in the mid and upper 80s with a 90 possible.

- Kentucky Oaks Friday and Kentucky Derby Saturday will both be very warm to hot. Readings will be well into the mid and upper 80s with an outside shot at 90. Both days will feature a few storms floating around the region. This may be one of the warmer derby weekends in a long, long time.

Have a wonderful Monday and take care.
