Good Wednesday everyone. There isn’t a whole lot left to say that we haven’t said already about the weather pattern we are in. It is a stormy one and the next few days could get VERY stormy around here as we have to be on watch for possible severe storms and heavy rains.

The storms really never got going Tuesday across the state. Parts of Ohio and West Virginia got in on some hail producing storms… but they seemed to avoid the bluegrass state like the plague. Not that we will complain too much about that.

Storms today will become widespread and that will carry us into Thursday. Clusters of strong or severe storms should be able to fire up in this environment as well. Here is the latest from the Storm Prediction Center…

This is likely to turn into a damaging wind event for some areas so that will be the big threat of the next 24 hours. Large hail will be likely in the strongest storms too. As always… an isolated tornado would be possible. Watch the storms blow up here…







I mentioned the rounds of storms that will likely push east across the area over the next few days and these will likely put down a lot of water. Check out the rainfall forecast through this weekend from the folks at the HPC…



That will be more than enough to cause concerns for high water! Keep in mind that map is into the coming weekend as well. Right now… Saturday is the day that will feature the smallest risk for showers and storms. If it is dry… it won’t last for long as more storms move in by Sunday and continue into next week. Rounds of strong or severe storms will be possible next week as well.
