Good Thursday, everyone. Rounds of showers and thunderstorms get cranking across our region today and this could bring the threat for strong and severe storms. That potential will really ramp up later tonight and into Friday. Overall, this is part of a pattern that has severe weather written all over it in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n
Here’s a breakdown of what to expect:<\/p>\n
– Scattered showers and storms develop across the region from west to east today. Some of the late day storms across central and western Kentucky could be strong or severe. This is NOT a washout of a day.<\/p>\n
– Winds will continue to crank today and could reach 35mph at times.<\/p>\n
– Showers and thunderstorms will increase late tonight and into Friday. Severe thunderstorms with high winds and hail will be possible. Gusty winds of 40mph will be common.<\/p>\n
– Heavy rains through Friday night could cause some high water issues. Many of the forecast models are suggesting 1″-3″ of rain during this time.<\/p>\n
– Chilly and dry weather moves in for Saturday with temps in the low and mid 50s. Easter Sunday looks good with 30s to start and 60s to end.<\/p>\n
– Watch the pattern for next week! It has the look of a severe weather producer on more than one day.<\/p>\n
I have you all set to track today’s showers and storms…<\/p>\n
