Good Saturday, everyone. A few storms are rumbling across the region today and this action will really pick up over the next few days. As a matter of fact, we are tracking the potential for strong to severe storms today through Monday.<\/p>\n

A few showers and storms will once again be impacting areas of western Kentucky today. Parts of far western Kentucky have picked up nearly 12″ of rain over the past couple of days, giving this region the second extreme rainfall event in a matter of weeks.<\/p>\n

This same area may have another round of heavy rain this morning and that’s something we will keep a close eye on. The rest of the state sees only scattered showers and storms going up with a lot of dry weather a good bet.<\/p>\n

Storms to our west will become much more numerous this afternoon and evening and can be strong or severe. Those will roll eastward across the region, and this has prompted the Storm Prediction Center to put our region in the risk for a few severe storms today…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Damaging wind is the main threat from any storm that goes up\u2026<\/p>\n

DAMAGING WIND<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

LARGE HAIL<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

TORNADO THREAT<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Rounds of storms then show up again tonight and Sunday ahead of a potent early August storm system. The severe weather threat continues…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Damaging wind is the primary threat, and this is showcased in the Severe Wind Outlook…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Large hail is also a possibility…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The tornado threat is pretty low…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The overall severe weather threat then shifts a bit farther east for Monday, but may still include the eastern half of the state…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As mentioned, this severe threat comes from a potent low pressure working through the Ohio Valley in the coming days. Watch how the showers and storms rotate around this low that throws some wraparound showers behind it Monday night and early Tuesday…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

That’s not a very typical August looking setup and will be accompanied by much cooler than normal temps. Oh, it will also be followed up by another potent storm system arriving late Wednesday and Thursday. This may also bring a severe threat to the region and be followed by yet another system a few days later…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Watch these deep troughs working across the country over the next week…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I will drop by with another update later today. Until then, here are your storm tracking tools for the first Saturday in August…<\/p>\n
