Good Monday Evening gang. The thunderstorms that we expected to blow up today are getting a little bit on the frisky side leading to the threat for severe weather. A Tornado Watch is now out for northern Kentucky until Midnight. Here is a look at the counties included….
Warnings…
These storms are lifting toward the east and northeast. Damaging winds, large hail and a few tornadoes are likely and you can track these storms with the radars…
The storms are breaking out on the leading edge of a surge of heat that will challenge records around here for the next few days. I will try to update the severe weather as much as possible this evening so check back. You can also follow me for updates on twitter… @Kentuckyweather .
Take care.
Storm came through about 5:45. Thunder, heavy down pour (didn’t last long) and small hail.
Well…that caught me by surprise. I saw where the SPC put our part of the state under a Slight Risk for severe weather but the Tornado Watch came out of left field (to use a baseball term on Opening Day).
I probably should go out and get my Weather Radio replaced… 😉

Ok I have to say it but Some of the Lexington Meterologists that work on TV blew todays forcast big time. Most were calling for just showers mainly around the Ohio River and Northward but now all this.. How was this missed?
ANOTHER Tornado Warning for Fleming County…that makes 3 of them this evening. I’ll likely be visiting that area tomorrow I’ll have to get the scoop on damage, if any.
Looks like that cell still has a hook to it.. Any word on whether there has actually been a touch down?
