We continue to watch the increasing potential for severe storms and high winds to impact the region on Thursday. This comes as a powerful storm system rolls into the Ohio Valley from the southwest and gives us a serious clash of the seasons.<\/p>\n<p>As expected, the Storm Prediction Center has upgraded much of the region to a Slight Risk for severe storms on Thursday&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.spc.noaa.gov\/public\/state\/images\/KY_swody2.png\" \/><\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s almost spot on to the map I first put out last Friday&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pbs.twimg.com\/media\/FLWqNZtX0AY_zEs?format=png&amp;name=900x900\" alt=\"Image\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Damaging winds are the primary player as a line of strong to severe storms races from west to east across the state Thursday afternoon and evening.

That&#8217;s when some snow showers and flurries should also be flying.<\/p>\n<p>The pattern turns milder late weekend into early next week ahead of another setup where we get a clash of the seasons to set up on top of us. This may lead to waves of low pressure bringing heavy rain and storms in here, but the cold air will have much more of a push behind this. That could also spell some winter weather as the pattern trends much colder to end the month and roll into early March.<\/p>\n<p>This pattern is loaded with potential for a lot of precipitation&#8230; Both rain and snow&#8230; As we head into March.<\/p>\n<p>I will have the latest on the severe threat starting at 4pm on WKYT-TV.
