Good Sunday, folks. Additional rounds of showers and thunderstorms are marching across the state to begin the month of May. This bumpy first day is indicative of how the first week of the new month looks to be. That doesn’t bode well for all the festivities for Derby week.
Today’s showers and storms will continue to come at us in waves. Heavy rains may cause some local high water issues, and some strong or local severe storms will be possible. The tracking toys in a bit.
MUCH cooler air moves in for Monday as a new storm system begins to impact our region from the southwest. This should bring another round of rain and thunder from later Monday into Tuesday. The NAM…
Once again, heavy rains will be possible from this system. Highs Monday may hit 70 before the storms move in, but may struggle to get out of the 50s by Tuesday.
From there, it’s more ugly moving in from a HUGE upper level low cutting off across the region. Here’s the look Wednesday and Thursday…
That’s from the European and it’s nasty! That same model run keeps that system very close to us to start Derby Weekend…
Here’s hoping that continues to take a wobble toward the east, allowing for some better weather to blow in.
Temps this week are kinda ugly. Check out the below normal numbers…

Today’s risk area
Current Watches
Possible Watch Areas
Enjoy your Sunday and take care.
I wish someone would tell Jackson, Ky weather that all of Martin Co. in Ky is flooding and we have no warnings except a flood advisory in the southern half of the county!!!!! Why do we not have a flood warning or something? We are these people?
I sense my yard will need mowing between showers.
I see the SPC has dropped a Slight Risk for Severe Weather right on top of many of us! Somebody hinted for days that today could be interesting…
Yea, upgraded from an earlier Marginal Risk.
And as CB just touched on in one of tweets just minutes ago, the SPC is looking at a watch for the much of the same area (along the Ohio River including northern KY and southern parts of both OH and IN). A relatively low if not zero tornado risk, it’s more damaging straight-line winds and large hail as the risks with the higher chances; if any “convective” watch is issued, perhaps will be a Severe Thunderstorm Watch.
Still some flooding issues in eastern KY and in WV so turn around, don’t drown!
Now a watch is being considered for western parts of both Tennessee and Kentucky……
…in which both areas have been combined into a rather large size Severe Thunderstorm Watch over much of Kentucky and Tennessee.
very muggy feel out their, if something pops might get strong?
Good thing I mowed on Friday.
