Good Thursday to one and all. We continue to watch for the potential for strong to severe thunderstorms to push across the state. Today’s action may be more widespread than what we’ve had over the past few days. These storms can also cause additional flash flooding issues for some areas.

Here’s a breakdown of how the day may play out:

  • Early morning severe weather may be ongoing across parts of northern and eastern Kentucky. Damaging winds will be the primary threat. There will be a VERY sharp cutoff on the storm line in central Kentucky.
  • Heat and humidity build in through the afternoon. Temperatures may surge into the low 90s under partly sunny skies.
  • A line of strong and severe thunderstorms will develop this afternoon across northern Kentucky and drop toward the south and southeast.
  • Damaging winds, large hail and isolated tornadoes will be possible. Widespread damaging winds are possible in this setup.
  • Any storm that goes up out there till be able to produce a ton of rain that can lead to additional flash flooding.
