Previous Update

Good afternoon everyone and thanks for stopping by the blog. On a day where the humidity and temps are combining to produce crazy heat index values… the threat for severe thunderstorms and flash flooding will try to take center stage. A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH is now out for extreme northeastern Kentucky… but warnings are going up well outside the watch box.

Here is a look at the watch and the latest warnings…

WW0567 Warnings

Damaging winds will be a major issue from these storms that go up. With the amount of energy available… a tornado or two cannot be ruled out.  These storms will be efficient rain producers as well and this may lead to flash flooding. Track all the action here…

I will have updates as needed and will have rapid fire updates on twitter. @Kentuckyweather is the name to follow.

Take care.
