Good Monday evening everyone. I wanted to drop by for a little update on the a cluster of showers and storms moving through the state right now and for some Sunday storm reports.
This latest round of storms looks like it is in response to a meso low. You can see the spin around this small scale low on radar…
Heavy rains will be noted in many areas and this will likely lead to local flash flooding problems. Keep an eye on the creeks and streams… especially across southern and eastern Kentucky. This is the area that has been hardest hit in recent weeks and in recent days. Some residents of Perry County had severe flash flooding very early this morning from a 3″ rainfall in only one hour. Some 25 homes were flooded in this area.
There was a tornado that touched down in eastern Kentucky as well…
A NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE STORM SURVEY CONCLUDED THAT A TORNADO
TOUCHED DOWN IN MORGAN COUNTY…AT APPROXIMATELY 655 PM JUNE 14TH
ABOUT 1.5 MILES NORTHWEST OF RELIEF. THE PATH LENGTH WAS 1.5 MILES
LONG…WITH A WIDTH OF 75 YARDS. THE TWISTER LIFTED SHORTLY AFTER
CROSSING INTO JOHNSON COUNTY ALONG HIGHWAY 1614. THE
TORNADO…WITH WINDS OF 90-95 MPH…WAS RATED AN EF1 ON THE ENHANCED
FUJITA SCALE. DOZENS OF TREES WERE DAMAGED WITH NUMEROUS TREES
SNAPPED OR UPROOTED
A Tornado Warning was ever issued for that storm. I don’t think a Flash Flood Warning was ever issued for Perry County this morning either.
That is of MAJOR concern folks!
I will have updates as needed on the storms this evening. I will be using Twitter for those and you can find that in the top right corner of this blog. You can sign up to receive those updates on your cell phone too. It’s free!
Take care.

Thanks Chris…the only type of product the NWS issued for the flood event in Perry County was an Urban and Small Stream Flood Advisory. Not even a warning or watch was issued.
Glad we’re not in NW TN right now-man, that’s some MEAN lookin’ crap heading out of NE AR!!:(
Thanks for the evening update, Chris. It is appreciated. Hope those slow movers don’t cause too many problems in
NC Ky. We got a pretty good shower out of that one this afternoon. but the flooding stuff did not happen, thank goodness!
Well, got an earache, and meds in me for it, so I think I will hit the sack. We are now on wedding countdown, and Saturday will be here before we know it! Gotta feel better, I can’t afford to be sick right now,
Thanks again for looking out for us, Chris. Have a good night, all!
Thanks for keeping us updated, Chris.
I don’t understand why there were no big warnings out for the flash flood in Bulan (Perry County) this morning. A man went by and woke up a lady who is in her 80’s. He literally carried her through water to safety. I slept through all the rain as I didn’t hear any warnings. I’m gonna be sure to check here with you before I go to bed EVERY night. Thanks again, Chris.
i think we’re having a cloud burst here in belfry.
Hey Chris, i work on a strip job on oakley up a holler called beetree. We was working on a pond the other night and somebody was talking about it having big fish in it. Then i heard one guy say that that weather man that used to be on 27 news is the man that owns it. if he was right then ive been working on your propety for a while now. Also we had a nasty storm sunday, i live in morgan county right where that tornado touched down, it was rough for a while here.
Very heavy rain here, creeks are coming out of their banks.
