Our stormy setup is kicking off with a severe storms threat for parts of Kentucky out there today.

Those hang around through the day, but it&#8217;s not a washout.<\/li>\n<li>Additional showers and storms will be noted on Friday.<\/li>\n<li>Saturday appears to have the best chance for extended dry periods with just a few storms scattered about the state.<\/li>\n<li>Severe storms may very well show up Sunday into Sunday night as another system works in from the west. This is one to watch.<\/li>\n<li>Memorial Day may start with a few storms and end with a few storms, with drier skies in between.<\/li>\n<li>Heavy rains are a good bet through Monday with some areas picking up several inches of rain. This leads to an increased flash flood risk.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In terms of today&#8217;s storms, watch how the HRRR Future Radar fires up some strong to severe storms this evening.
