Good Monday, folks. It’s the first full week of August and it’s beginning with the threat for strong to severe storms. This latest severe weather threat comes from a highly anomalous early August pattern that features the jet stream diving deep into the region.<\/p>\n

A few storms are possible early today with a greater threat developing this afternoon and early evening as a front works in. Storms along and ahead of this front may be strong to severe, especially across central and eastern Kentucky. The Storm Prediction Center continues to highlight this potential in today’s Severe Weather Outlook…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Damaging wind and large hail are the main threats but the tornado threat is a bit increased across eastern Kentucky…<\/p>\n

DAMAGING WIND<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

LARGE HAIL<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

TORNADO THREAT<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A few wraparound showers will be noted into tonight and early Tuesday as cooler winds blow in. This calmer weather won’t last long as yet another potent system works in here later Wednesday and Thursday. This is likely to bring more strong to severe storms and heavy rains into the region…<\/p>\n

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

The Storm Prediction Center is already highlighting the Wednesday severe chance in the west…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I will have the latest on WKYT-TV and will update things on KWC as needed. As always, here are your storm tracking tools for the day\u2026<\/p>\n
