4:30am Update
Line of intense thunderstorms continues to sink southward across the state. Torrential rains will likely lead to some local high water problems as these storms will likely dump a quick inch or two. Watch the streams! These are also tremendous lightning producers and are giving us a big time light show. Some hail and gusty winds will be likely as well as this line quickly moves through.
We will see some more scattered storms early today before trying to catch a dry period. More storms would then likely fire up later this afternoon and some of those could be strong with more heavy rains. I will update things later today. I keep telling myself sleep is overrated! ![]()
Take care.
PREVIOUS UPDATE
Good morning everyone. I will keep this brief as severe thunderstorms are moving southward into Kentucky as I type. Severe thunderstorm warnings are being issued with this line as it drops south/southeastward across the area. In addition to damaging winds… torrential rains will likely cause some local flooding problems.
Track the storms here…
The Poor Storm Prediction center continues to have a bad year as they do not have the areas getting the severe weather in a slight risk as of this blog entry. Here is a look at their latest severe weather map…
I will try to update things as much as I can overnight into early Friday. I will use Twitter some too so be sure to check that out. You can also help us out by posting the weather where you live.
Take care.

I woke up just before 6:00 a.m. to heavy rain, thunder and lightening. It’s still raining. Let’s all be careful on our way to work!
Chris, my friend, try to get some rest!
We love you and want you to stay healthy. Thank you for being here for us!
MOrning Chris! Sleep is NOT overrated! I have been slowly catching up on mine since the wedding last Saturday! Not there yet, as I have this ‘work’ thing that keeps interrupting it. 😉
Woke up at 6:30 this morning by rain hitting the window, and a big clap of thunder. Got in and out of the shower before the lightning really got started too bad.
We have had torrential rains here for the past hour or so, but it has finally slacked off somewhat. Still raining, though. Have no idea how much, as the rain gauge is at home, but I am at work. Will post that later!
Everyone be careful out there this morning, and in the storms. Older daughter is on her way to NYC this morning, to sing in Carnagie Hall for the second time! Hope they have a good trip! Have a great Friday, all.
That was a BUMPY night. Wonder if there is more to come?
ENTIRE state of KY now in the Slight Risk zone…
Can anyone explain to me why storms seem to hit Lexington around 4:30 AM!!!! Wakes my daughter up everytime.
