These storms will have two main calling cards&#8230; a lot of lightning and torrential rains.

This front will be the forcing mechanism to force this tropical air to rise, bringing some hefty rain numbers through Friday. Just like today, the Friday storms will be loaded with lightning and may cause local flash flooding.<\/p>\n<p>The front hangs around into the weekend as the remnant low from Gordon works from Missouri into the Ohio Valley. The setup is there for a lot of rain to fall across our region from Saturday through early Monday. It won&#8217;t rain the entire time, but the threat for showers and storms will really increase compared to what we are seeing now&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/?attachment_id=31129\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-31129\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-31129\" src=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/AE1DD041-9288-4829-BB8C-1A930EE0BB00.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"786\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Strong\/severe storms are possible, but the flood threat is the top dog of the weather weekend&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/?attachment_id=31130\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-31130\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-31130\" src=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/EA554E99-3D45-403A-A4BE-C63F21D7E21A.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1236\" height=\"1174\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/EA554E99-3D45-403A-A4BE-C63F21D7E21A.jpeg 1236w, https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/EA554E99-3D45-403A-A4BE-C63F21D7E21A-300x285.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/EA554E99-3D45-403A-A4BE-C63F21D7E21A-768x729.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/EA554E99-3D45-403A-A4BE-C63F21D7E21A-1024x973.jpeg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1236px) 100vw, 1236px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Once that system departs, a boundary remains across our region and will stretch into the Gulf of Mexico.
