Good afternoon, everyone. I wanted to drop by for a very quick update on the potential for severe storms later today into tonight. This is ahead of a potent system moving through the region, bringing some heavy rains with it.<\/p>\n

Another system follows that up by the weekend before we transition into more of a winter pattern early next week.<\/p>\n

The Storm Prediction Center has expanded the Marginal Risk for severe storms to include most of Kentucky through tonight…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

With just enough shear available, there\u2019s even the risk for a quick tornado spin up across south central parts of the state\u2026<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

That damaging wind threat is why the low-end severe threat was expanded…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

After a break on Friday, more in the way of showers and storms roll into the region Saturday into Saturday night. Once again, local high water issues may be a problem across the eastern half of the state.<\/p>\n

The setup next week features a boundary stalled to our southeast with waves of low pressure riding along it. This means we are in the line of fire for a lot of precipitation and much of this may be in the form of winter precipitation.<\/p>\n

The GFS is becoming consistent with how it’s seeing the overall setup, but it still has some deviations from run to run.<\/p>\n

Here’s the latest run…<\/p>\n

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

And the run before that one…<\/p>\n

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

I’ll talk more about this and the severe threat on WKYT starting at 4pm then with another KWC update later today. Until then, I have all your storm tracking tools for the day\u2026<\/p>\n
