Good late Sunday evening everyone. A complex of thunderstorms is diving southeastward out of Indiana into parts of central and northern Kentucky. Some of these storms are severe and will pack torrential rains that may cause flash flooding concerns.
The storms are aimed toward the Lexington Metro area and would then roll east/southeast from there into the rest of the state. You can track them all here…
I will update as needed and will use Twitter to send out rapid fire messages… follow me @ Kentuckyweather . These also appear in the top right hand corner of the blog.
Take care.
I’m here! Watching too!
Here is a perfect example of what I was talking about storms coming from the northwest. They seem more intense and tend not to die out as often. Not saying they won’t die out but when they come from the northwest into the humid tropical atmosphere, they seem to hold there ground well.
Their………..Not there (LOL)
Don’t you just hate when you do that? Especially those three! LOL1
Chris..we’ve had two rounds of storms in Lawrenceburg and I’m watching upstream as the third is moving toward us. The lightning is INTENSE. LITERALLY nonstop lightning discharges! It’s the wildest lightning I’ve seen in many years.
Yes it’s constant lightning looking to the northwest sky. It looks like Lawrenceberg (spelling) is going to be the epicenter based on radar
Patty! YES! Their, there. I have no idea why I put there (LOL) My other big confusion is “affect” and “effect”.
How come there are no warnings being issued. Is it because on how they have changed on what a severe storm is ?
If I remember right one part was the diameter of the hail ect ??? lol
thery’re getting closer to versailles now. concerned like chris is about the impact. radar has indicated over 2 inches of rain in shelby county in an hour, minor flooding possibile.
Agree with the amount of rain fall that will be dumped.
They are below severe criteria, but the lightning should be intense. Definitely not safe to be out watching lightning when it gets close. I was just outside and talk about MUGGY!
Is it just me, or do the storms look to be getting stronger and they approach Lexington?
Well… got the camera out to see if this is gonna be a good show.
Sure does look like it from the radar and can already see the lighting from a distance.
Chris, I keep trying to comment, but it is always getting sent to moderation. IF this one gets through, just letting you know that we are reading everyday, and appreciate the job you do. Thanks!
Hear and here! For some reason I put “leave hear” for the beach on the calendar the other day!
