Good Saturday, everyone.\u00a0 The stormy pattern we’ve been tracking for well over a week continues and shows no signs of letting up this weekend. Storms will come at us in waves as the axis of storms shifts farther west into the bluegrass state. This puts western Kentucky in play for some storms that can cause more issues.<\/p>\n
Speaking of issues, flooding was common with the Friday evening storms. Many streets in Lexington were flooded and areas around Ashland had big time problems. The hardest hit area was around Prestonsburg in Floyd County. Much of the downtown area was underwater.<\/p>\n
High school football games were postponed in many areas last night because of the storms. Many of those will be played tonight, but could face additional storms.<\/p>\n
The storms out there today and Sunday will focus on the entire state and will continue to come at us in waves. These storms can put down tremendous amounts of rain and pack a ton of lightning.<\/p>\n
Off and on storms will take us through the first half of next week. Once we get into the middle of the week, a strong cold front will approach from the west. That front SHOULD clear the area later Thursday or Friday with much cooler air working in for the Labor Day Weekend.<\/p>\n
The one thing that could impact the timing and set of it all would be a possible tropical system developing in the Caribbean. The models want to keep this storm off the coast as our front passes through…<\/p>\n
It’s still way too early for anything definitive on that system, so we will wait to see what happens with it.<\/p>\n In the meantime, let’s track some storms…<\/p>\n Today\u2019s risk area<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Current watches<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Possible watch areas<\/span><\/strong> ![\"GFS\"](\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/GFS7.png\")
