Good Thursday, everyone. Our stormy pattern just keeps going as waves of thunderstorms impact the commonwealth of Kentucky. These storms will continue to cause issues through Friday, with damaging wind and heavy rain the primary threats.
Early day showers and storms may be west to east movers and put down additional heavy rains and high winds. We could up the ante for damaging winds with a big complex of thunderstorms sweeping in here later tonight. The signal is there for a MCC to form across the Midwest later this afternoon. That may turn the corner and dive into Kentucky from the northwest tonight.
Later Friday, a cold front sweeps into the state with another line of thunderstorms developing. That line may have damaging winds.
In between the storms today and Friday, temps can hit 90-95. The humidity will be off the charts, so it will feel much hotter than that.
We should get a break in the action by Saturday, but additional storms look to fire up later Sunday and continue into much of next week.
Here are your Thursday storm trackers…

Chris, do you see any signs of raining pattern that we been in since April to end.?
At least this summer is not like we feared it would be after the late cold snaps, at least so far.
Is that 8 inch mesonet total legit? If so, wow.
Yeah it’s legit. That’s in Marshall County I was reading this morning that parts of Marshall county had just over 11 inches of rain in a 24 hr period.
Amazing totals.

How does Marshall County get 8 inches (or more of rain) then the Graves County mesonet site say 0.00″?
Either mesonet was down or Graves County got nothing. The storms were training over the same area last evening, I’m guessing there was a dramatic cutoff from flooding rain to no rain at all.
Mother nature can be tricky. Just gotta trust it.!!
I saw some pictures earlier of flooding in Elkton that were might impressive. Best wishes to those folks out West.

We did have a few trees down across the county! Glad it calmed down some!
