The worst of our stormy setup is likely coming later today through Monday.

In terms of knowing exactly where these areas are will be determined by where the storms decide to train.<\/p>\n<p>In regard to the severe storms threat, damaging wind is the primary threat. Today&#8217;s Severe Weather Outlook from the Storm Prediction Center looks like this&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.spc.noaa.gov\/partners\/outlooks\/state\/images\/KY_swody1.png?1752843183\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the Severe Weather Outlook for Monday&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.spc.noaa.gov\/partners\/outlooks\/state\/images\/KY_swody2.png?1752946406\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Can we get Flood Watches issued for the threats of today and Monday? On Saturday, the Weather Prediction Center, a branch of NOAA, was accurately portraying the heavy rain and flood threat in our region. Still, none of the local NWS offices would put up a Flood Watch, yet they were forced to issue numerous Flash Flood Warnings. Several of those warnings came with a &#8220;considerable flooding&#8221; or &#8220;life-threatening flooding&#8221; tag.<\/p>\n<p>Let me say this&#8230; I am<strong> 100%<\/strong> in support of fully funding NOAA and the NWS. Every office needs to be fully staffed, and these folks need some pay raises while we are at it!! I could really say a lot more on this subject, but I&#8217;ll spare you guys. ha<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a look at today&#8217;s watches and I hope we see some green&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/webpubcontent.gray.tv\/wkyt\/WEBWATCHES.jpg\" alt=\"Watches\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The Current Warnings map&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/webpubcontent.gray.tv\/wkyt\/WEBWARNINGS.jpg\" alt=\"Warnings\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The storms out there today and Monday are forming and racing around the outer edge of heat and humidity from western Kentucky into the Plans and lower Mississippi Valley.<\/p>\n<p>Heat Index numbers in the west can go reach 105 in some areas.
