Good Thursday to one and all. We are coming off of a wild and wooly severe weather Wednesday across the bluegrass state. Tornadoes, damaging winds and large hail combined to wreak havoc in many Kentucky communities. As hard as it may be to believe… we likely have more severe storms to contend with on Friday.<\/p>\n

The severe weather numbers from Wednesday continue to add up. Kentucky was ground zero for the daytime outbreak…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Teams from the National Weather Service will continue to survey the damage and determine if tornadoes or straight line winds caused the damage in some of the harder hit areas. I suspect our tornado number to rise today.<\/p>\n

The actual weather today looks good with temps hitting the upper 50s and low 60s for many under mostly sunny skies.<\/p>\n

Another massive storm will begin to crank across the plains states later today and tonight. This will head toward the western Great Lakes late Friday into Saturday. Warm air will surge in here overnight and this may get a few storms going… especially across the west. The Storm Prediction Center has that part of the state in the slight risk for severe weather tonight…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I am becoming very concerned for a major severe weather outbreak across our region Friday into Friday evening. The setup appears to favor lines of damaging wind producing thunderstorms that can also spawn a few violent tornadoes. The Storm Prediction Center already has a\u00a0 Moderate Risk for severe weather for much of Kentucky…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This could get ugly and I urge you to pay close attention to later updates on how the severe threat plays out.<\/p>\n

The other big news of Wednesday was the announcement that I am returning to WKYT-TV in Lexington as Chief Meteorologist. My first day on the air will be Monday, March 5th. Read all about it on WKYT<\/a> and Kentucky.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Have a great Thursday and take care.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
