Good evening, folks. I wanted to stop by for a quick drop in to talk about a slight increase in the severe storms risk for western Kentucky. This action is along and ahead of a system rolling in from the west.

Temps in the west spiked to near 80 degrees this afternoon on a strong southwest wind. This is aiding in the development of scattered thunderstorms that may go severe. The Storm Prediction Center continues with a low-end risk for severe storms in the west…

Damaging winds and large hail are the primary players.

Some of these storms may have just enough shear to produce a tornado or two. Here’s the Tornado Outlook from the SPC…

Eclipse day clouds are still expected to be an issue. While some breaks are a good bet, the models continue to highlight clouds through the afternoon…

After that, rounds of strong storms look to bring a lot of rain into the region. This starts Tuesday and goes through the end of the week with another round early the following week.

I leave you with your storm tracking radars for the rest of this Sunday…
