Good Monday, everyone. We are kicking off a very active week with rounds of showers and storms to close out July and begin August. These storms will bring a lot of rain to the region, giving us a flash flood threat and some of these storms may also be severe.<\/p>\n

We are watching the northwestern sky today for clusters of strong to severe storms developing and rolling across, especially, central and eastern Kentucky. The best chance for these storms is this afternoon through overnight hours.<\/p>\n

Some of these storms may be strong or severe and the Storm Prediction Center is highlighting this potential with today’s Severe Weather Outlook…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

These storms may be able to tap just enough shear to spin up a tornado or two. This is also highlighted by the SPC…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Damaging wind is the main threat from these clusters of storms…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A few of the storms may also have quarter-sized hail or larger…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The threat for strong to severe storms will be with us again on Tuesday as additional action drops in from the northwest. Here’s the Tuesday Severe Weather Outlook from the Storm Prediction Center…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This same pattern looks to hang tough through the rest of the week as we are locked into a setup that features big complexes of storms developing to our northwest then dropping into Kentucky.<\/p>\n

Here’s my latest thinking on where the heaviest rains fall this week…<\/p>\n

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

We have to be on guard for flash flooding from any storm that goes up. My worry is we get into a short-term setup where storms train over the same areas one right after the other. If that happens… Ugh.<\/p>\n

I will try to drop by for another update later today and will the latest on WKYT-TV starting at 4pm. As always, I have you guys loaded with your Monday storm tracking tools\u2026<\/p>\n
