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.
Are you looking for a pattern change? Keep looking as our soggy setup should roll on for the next few weeks. The GFS rain forecast over the next few weeks is impressive…
Detecting a pattern here? ![]()
I will have update the blog as needed and will be using Twitter as well so sign up. You can also follow along in the top right hand corner of this blog.
Take care.

At 3:00, currently looking at a wall of storms split in half again, with batches moving into IL and TN, but very little for KY. My poor plants need water soon!!!
Just looked at latest soundings from Wilmington and Nashville… appears to be a very STABLE atmosphere right now. Nothing would indicate rapid storm development. 🙁
tell that to people east of BG
better get the yard work done early… looks like storms are firing up just east of bowling green moving east, look out southern and south central,and eastern ky. for later this morning…
and a cluster moving through northern ky. looks to be watering the plants in the ashland area soon…
another cluster forming in southern indiana looks to roll through Lou. in the next couple of hrs. this could be one to look for in the frankfort and Lex. area later on as well…
so run that tiller this morning, mow that grass soon cause you’ll most likely be setting on the porch watching it rain this afternoon…lol…
later gang,oh yeah and stay safe!!
looks like storms are firing up east of bowling green, heads up everyone in east,central and southern ky. for late morning and into the afternoon….
another cluster looks to be firing up in northern ky…looks like ashland could get in on some of that…

I have not seen this much water in downtown Cynthiana since the Flood of 97. It was going in the front door of Bianckes. You couldn’t even see the sidewalks.
HEADS UP!!!…Pulaski co. (SOMERSET)..Lincoln co. southern casey co., wayne co. storms developing to your IMMEDIATE west and heading east into your area’s soon!!
WOW!!..do you know how much rain fell?
Heavy rain coming down in those cells this morning. While the severe weather indicies like CAPE are not looking great this morning, the atmosphere is plenty juicy with dew points running in the mid to upper 60’s again today. The low pressure moving through will continue to spark off showers and they will continue to intensify as we gain more heating during the day.
you have it all wrong Bro 😉 j/k
complex over the ohio river diving south this should provide the region w/ storms and outflow boundries throughout the day. severe threat is less now due to excessive clouds.
i agree its been cloudy and somewhat cool all morning
Thunderstorm moving through W. Franklin Co., soaking rain, very close lightning, so far, not much wind.
We are getting the water we need in Gtown right now. There has been thunder off in the distance, but nothing close. We had rain about 11:00, then it picked up real heavy about 11:45 and has not let up yet. I am about 4 miles north of that I64 corridor on Chris’s Twitter post.
thunderstorm with heavy rain at the woodford-fayette county line a little pea-size hail
storms from lawrenceburg to nw lexington diving se and forming a squall line had wind gusts to 40 mph hvy rain and a ton of lightning in versailles. video of this will be posted later. it won’t take much instabilty further se for this to become severe.
Must raining HARD in Lexington you can hear it on 27 news cast.
For these storms to not be severe the clouds sure were awful looking as it approached. I have never saw such angry looking clouds before- at the leading edge was a very defined ripple. Looked scary- glad it turned out not to be! Lots and lots of really heavy heavy rain though.
rain coming down here quite heavily, thunder now and then not much wind or severe aspect really though.
Check out the Day 2 outlook. We are right in the center of the highest concentration of severe tomorrow…
I’m not always right, and I take it personally when I blow a forecast. I just try to learn from what happened and not make the same mistakes again.
BTW, I might have blown yesterday but today is looking pretty darn wet, especially north of I-64.
Heavy rain really coming down here in morgan co…..
Shane i’m not doggin you you are by far more accurate than some other people are on here

Pouring rain in the Sublimity area of London. Laurel Co just went under a severe t’storm warning.
After rain almost all day, the sun is now shining BRIGHT here in Jessamine county, probably NOT a good thing. 🙂
