Updates as neede. Take care.
Previous Update
Good Sunday to one and all. Showers and thunderstorms will continue to roll across the region today as the stormy pattern rolls on. These boomers will continue to do their thing and we will have the all too familiar tracking tools for you guys.
A few thoughts…
– Clusters of storms Saturday brought some big time rain totals to the state. Some areas picked up 2″-4″ of rains.
– Storms today will pack a punch in terms of more heavy rains that can cause local high water concerns. Severe storms will again be possible.
– A few storms look to hang into Monday as well. This means the heat pushing in from the west really won’t have a lot of time to build in and a glancing blow is about all we will get.
– A strong cold front will move in by the middle of the new week with another round of stormy weather before cooler temps move in for the end of the week.
Now to your daily dose of tracking toys…

I really could do without this rain
That is quite a bow echo forming on radar right now. Tornado warning in Breckinridge County, and in southern Indiana just west of Louisville.
yea that a serious line there JAVA, very serious.
alot probaly going be caught off gurardas they are just getting up.
DANGEROUS SITUATION.
That line of storms looks ugly. Hope everyone stays safe today. And I agree, rolo, some are going to be caught off guard with the timing.
Everyone stay safe and updated today! Thanks, Chris, for the tweets, and for all that you do.
A few minutes ago, we had a few really close lightning strikes here in northwest Lex. Calmed down now. To me, that radar seems to indicate that the energy is diving southeast again……what is up with that?
I suspect that the line out ahead of the storm robbed the main line, where the really distinct bow echo was earlier, of energy. But that is just my layman’s reading of the radar. 😉
Nice, steady rain all morning here. Got really heavy for 10 min or so. Not much lightning. The pastures really need it. They were getting pretty crispy.
Dark and raining here north of Hazard. Thunder and lightening.
Thank you Chris for all your updates.
Boy, these rains lately are in and out of here on a dime. Why such fast moving weather lately?? We are due for at least a half day soaker aren’t we??
Lots of damage in Valley Station just southwest of Louisville. At my storm spotting location, I witnessed the fury. I will have video footage on my blog later today.
I was so busy removing debris from roadways and clearing debris from storm drains, I had no time to call into the NWS, much less go sightseeing.
Our power just came back online about a half-hour ago, just when I got all the cords ready to plug in…figures.
