Good Tuesday, everybody. We have a very busy severe weather setup taking shape through Wednesday. Rounds of strong to severe thunderstorms are going to cause issues across Kentucky. It’s definitely a day to stay up to date on the changing weather situation.

Our day starts with a warm front lifting through with the potential for strong storms. Hail and high winds will be possible with this first round.

Warm, moist and unstable air then settles in and this is when things get interesting. Severe weather will rapidly increase to our west by this evening and roll eastward from there. Damaging winds, large hail and a few tornadoes will be possible. Here’s the latest from the Storm Prediction Center for today…

The severe weather threat then focuses farther east tonight and early Wednesday. There is never a good time for severe weather, but overnight events are the absolute worst because people are sleeping and not paying as much attention.

Here’s the Wednesday severe weather outlook from the SPC…

It may also be a good time to hit the follow button on my @kentuckyweather twitter account. I will be tweeting warnings and the latest information. It’s also a WKYT First Alert Severe Weather Day, so be sure to tune in for live coverage.

As always, the blog is your online weather source…
