Good Saturday afternoon everyone. Thunderstorms moved across the northern part of Kentucky overnight with damaging winds being the major player. Take a look at some of the reports so far from the NWS…

Scattered storms will continue to develop across the southern half of the state this afternon and early evening. The severe weather threat is not very high, but I cannot rule out some isolated damaging winds. What may be a bigger concern is the storms producing heavy rains over areas that have been drenched recently.

This is a typical pattern we have been in though according to an arcticle I read Friday in the Lexington Herald Leader. Actually, that was a quote from a forecaster from the NWS in Jackson. I really hope that person was misquoted!

The second day of the Bailey Family Cincy mini vacation is underway. We are heading downtown to take in all the festivities of Civil Rights weekend for the Reds and White Sox. Ali, Bill Cosby, Hank Aaron are among the celebs that will be at tonight’s game. Looks like the POTUS won’t be able to make it.

Here is hoping I come away with a foul ball! Take care.
