Good Sunday afternoon everyone. Severe weather is getting cranking across the region this afternoon proving the atmosphere is still supercharged and going to the max when it can. A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH is now in effect until 9pm for much of central and eastern Kentucky.

Here is the outline of the watch…

WW0407 WOU

Current Warnings…
WW0407 Warnings

Thunderstorms will continue to develop and move east southeast across the area. Damaging winds and large hail are the main threats from these storms. But, there is a shot at an isolated tornado or two because some of these cells are trying to get out on their own. These “supercells” like to create their own environment and can sometimes get some rotation with them.

Follow the path of the storms with our various radars…







Do NOT forget about the torrential rain threat from these storms! Flash flooding is a concern right now as our ground is waterlogged. Please keep an eye on the creeks and streams.
