Good Thursday, folks. We have a very active weather day taking shape across our part of the world. High winds and severe thunderstorms may cause issues for many before the day is over.

A few quick notes on the day:

  • Winds today are going to be very gusty, with or without thunderstorms. Gusts of 40mph will be possible.
  • Morning showers and storms will give way to afternoon breaks in the clouds with temps spiking into the 70s for some areas
  • As our cold front enters from the west, expect lines of thunderstorms to develop in the west. Those storms will then surge eastward across the rest of the state this evening.
  • The greatest threat for severe weather is across western Kentucky, but the entire state could see some big boomers
  • Damaging winds, large hail and a few tornadoes will be possible.
  • The extent of the severe weather will be determined by just how much sun we can get this afternoon. If clouds and showers persist, that will act to lower the overall threat.
