Good Thursday, everyone. It’s another day of showers and storms across the region as the stormy pattern refuses to go away. If anything, it may increase a bit into the upcoming weekend as a northwest to southeast corridor of action sets up.

As always, let us begin with today. Rounds of showers and storms will be floating around, especially across central and eastern Kentucky. The ground can’t hold any more water, so local flash flooding issues may develop… Again.

There is a very small break coming for the first half of Friday, but that closes quickly as we watch a big cluster of strong to severe storms develop to our northwest. That may roll southeast into the region as early as Friday evening and continue into Saturday morning. As a matter of fact, the flow this weekend may feature more than one of those storm clusters…

The models have really been picking up on this action very well of late…

Those kinds of storms can bring an increased threat for wind damage. Here’s the Friday Severe Weather Outlook map from the Storm Prediction Center…

These weekend storms may also pack a ton of rain and lightning. The rainfall is also likely to bring a renewed threat for flash flooding to our region.

The stormy setup should hold into the first few days of next week, with the possibility for a few more strong to severe storms showing up.

I leave you with your Thursday storm tracking toys…

Make it a great day and take care.
