We have another low spinning into the region today and it&#8217;s bringing the potential for a few strong to severe thunderstorms.

By the middle of the day, we should see a few bands of thunderstorms developing and that brings the best opportunity for a few strong and severe storms. This action will be moving in similar fashion as the Thursday severe storms, from south-southwest to north-northeast.<\/p>\n<p>The Storm Prediction Center has much of the Commonwealth in a low-end risk for severe storms&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.spc.noaa.gov\/public\/state\/images\/KY_swody1.png\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This doesn&#8217;t look like a widespread severe event here, but areas of damaging winds and large hail may show up. The tornado threat isn&#8217;t very high, but it&#8217;s not zero, either.<\/p>\n<p>A the low wraps up to our north, some backwash clouds and a few showers may dive back in here on Sunday.
