Good afternoon everyone. The instability from some breaks in the clouds is leading to thunderstorms blowing up across parts of the state. Some are already going severe across parts of southern and western Kentucky. A new Severe Thunderstorm Watch is now out until 9pm.

Here is a look at the counties included in the watch…
