Good Saturday, everyone. We are dealing with a very active weather pattern for the weekend, with rounds of showers and thunderstorms rolling through. These storms can be strong to severe and put down enough rain to cause flash flooding.
Here are a few notes on the weekend:
- Rounds of storms rumble across the state today through Sunday night.
- Each storm cluster can produce damaging winds, large hail and even a few tornadoes.
- A Mesoscale Convective System may develop and roll across the state this evening and tonight. Damaging winds will be the main threat if this event gets cranking.
- The actual cold front moves in late Sunday with another round of severe thunderstorms possible.
- Given how wet the ground is, and the amount of moisture available for these storms to tap, flash flooding is a very real concern this weekend.
- In between storm clusters, you can get several dry hours with warm temps and high humidity levels
I have you all set to track the severe threat today…
Here’s the severe weather outlook for Sunday…
I will update as needed and be on WKYT-TV if conditions warrant.
Enjoy your day and take care.
Thanks Chris. I am hoping no one gets severe weather. I know there are a lot of things happening around the state where storms could really cause problems, not to mention danger. We are going to go decorate some graves today. Guess we will be watching the radar to see when to go between storms. I hope everyone has a safe Saturday. I know that Chris, Micah, Jim and Adam have our backs! Have a great Saturday everyone.
CIPS analogs support widespread severe weather for a large portion of our region.
The interactive radar is very tricky – the deep red is directly over my house, yet, it’s not raining. It’s very humid, so I doubt it’s because of dry air ( evaporating}. Confused!
Hail in Versailles!!
35 min 1.8 inches of rain
I am thankful that we did not get the worst of the worst, though there are still plenty of hazards out there tonight.
Seems like it stayed in southern and central Kentucky… Def not complaining!
Widespread Damage reports today…60-70 mph winds in western ky and large hail, while wind damage and flooding rains of 2-3″ in south central Ky…even a mudslide report
