Good Friday, everyone. Severe weather seems to show up on Friday’s here in Kentucky and the threat is with us again out there today as a cold front moves in and slows down. This keeps the threat for strong to severe storms going into the first half of the weekend.<\/p>\n

The boundary stalling out allows a few waves of low pressure to roll through here, touching off showers and storms. This is NOT widespread action where it rains and rains and rains. It’s one that features a lot of dry times, but storms roll through and put down a lot of water in a short amount of time. That leads to the potential for flash flooding on a local scale.<\/p>\n

Scattered storms linger into Sunday as temps come down a bit with another round of showers and storms Monday. That’s ahead of a cold front moving in with drying skies behind it. This animation from the EURO starts this morning and rolls through Tuesday morning…<\/p>\n

In terms of the severe storms threat out there today, the Storm Prediction Center continues with a Marginal Risk to Slight Risk…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The threat for tornadoes is there, but it’s rather small and centered across the western half of Kentucky…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Pockets of large hail and damaging winds are the greater threats…<\/p>\n

As our front sinks in from the northwest, it keeps the threat for a few strong to severe storms will be with us again on Saturday. Here’s the Saturday Severe Weather Outlook from the Storm Prediction Center…<\/p>\n

Looking toward next week, better weather blows in for Tuesday and Wednesday as temps come way back down. Highs of 75-80 look common with lows in the 50s…<\/p>\n
