Good afternoon, everyone. It’s a windy and mild day as our potent storm system inches closer to the region. Rounds of showers and storms are targeting western Kentucky, bringing the threat for severe storms. As we head into Saturday, the threat for severe storms moves eastward across the state.<\/p>\n

The Storm Prediction Center continues to highlight far western Kentucky for the increasing severe risk later today…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The SPC now includes much of the state in the low-end severe risk for Saturday, but this may very well be upgraded…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Damaging winds will be the main threat from a line of storms working from west to east. High winds will be a problem outside of any storms, through, so keep that in mind.<\/p>\n

Models continue to suggest 50mph or greater gusts, with the new NAM showing lots of 60mph+ gusts…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>In addition to the high wind potential, flooding and flash flooding will be possible across areas of western Kentucky. As the line of storms moves east, local flash flooding issues may develop as storms dump a quick 1″-2″ of rain.<\/p>\n

I will have the very latest on WKYT-TV starting at 4pm then again on KWC later this evening. Until then, here are your storm tracking tools\u2026<\/p>\n
