Good Friday, everyone. Waves of severe storms and heavy rains have pounded parts of the region over the past few days as this stormy spring rolls on. This may be capped off by a widespread severe weather event Sunday into Sunday night. That’s something we need to watch very closely.<\/p>\n

Let’s begin with today and roll forward.<\/p>\n

Skies are partly to mostly sunny for much of the day with highs in the upper 70s to low 80s. There’s a small threat for a storm going up with the main storm focus going up later this evening. That’s when strong to severe storms develop across western Kentucky with some of those rolling toward central Kentucky during the evening hours.<\/p>\n

The Storm Prediction Center is highlighting the west for the greatest severe weather potential today…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Once again, damaging winds and large hail are the main threats with a much lower tornado risk in the far west…<\/p>\n

Saturday is a warm and humid day with the chance for a storm or two blowing up, but a lot of the day is dry with temps in the 80s.<\/p>\n

A significant severe weather event is possible Sunday afternoon and Sunday night across much of our region. Low pressure works from Missouri to the northern Ohio Valley Sunday into early Memorial Day. This puts out region in the prime area for severe weather.<\/p>\n

All modes of severe weather will be possible:<\/p>\n
