Severe storms rumble across Kentucky today, ushering in a MUCH better brand of air for the rest of the Labor Day weekend.

This fires up clusters of strong to severe storms dropping in from the north. We may have one early today, followed by a steamy break, then more rounds of strong to severe storms rumble through later this afternoon and evening.<\/p>\n<p>Damaging wind is a good bet with some of these storms.
