Good afternoon, folks. As a strong cold front marches toward the state, we continue to track the increasing potential for severe storms and flash flooding through early Friday.<\/p>\n

The Storm Prediction Center continues with the Enhanced Risk across for areas of western and central Kentucky through early tonight…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Damaging winds, large hail and a few tornadoes will all be possible in this area.<\/p>\n

In addition to the severe threat, we run of the increased risk for Flash Flooding. A Flash Flood Watch is out for many areas of the west, central and north…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Please keep in mind that these watches are problematic in terms of placement. Last week, a watch was issued ahead of thunderstorms, but all the flooding and warnings came from outside the watch. Use a broad brush when it comes to watches and you literally cannot go wrong.<\/p>\n

As the storms roll eastward tonight and early Friday, so to will the risk for strong to severe storms. The SPC has a low-end risk across parts of central and eastern Kentucky…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Another line of storms may develop along the front later Friday and could be strong. This may also bring local high water issues to the east and southeast.<\/p>\n

Chillier and drier winds blow for the weekend, so that’s a good thing.<\/p>\n

Temps turn warm and we storm it up again into next week. Ugh.<\/p>\n

I will have the latest on WKYT-TV starting at 4pm and as needed through the night.. Until then, here are your tracking tools…<\/p>\n
