The Storm Prediction Center has most of Kentucky north and east of a line from just south of Louisville southeastward just north of London. This is for Thursday afternoon. While there is still some uncertainty this could be extended into the evening hours. Also if the modeling data holds, the Slight Risk Area might be extended back westward some. I will update in the morning.

Even though some have seen showers/storms this morning the possibility of strong to severe storms to fire back up exists for later today. Portions of Kentucky are in a Slight Risk Area while the remainder of the state is in a Marginal Risk Area. These storms will be mainly multicell storms but a few supercell storms are possible. Isolated damaging winds and hail will be the primary threats. For now it looks like the storms will start to fire up...

The Storm Prediction Center has expanded the Slight Risk area west. Parts of Kentucky are now included in this area. This is for those mainly north of I-64. South of I-64 could see widely scattered strong to severe storms. The primary risks are damaging winds and a secondary risk of severe hail. For now the timing looks to be mainly after 8 pm EDT.

For those mainly north of I-64 there is a threat for severe weather. The Storm Prediction Center has parts of Kentucky north of I-64 in a Slight Risk Area for strong to severe storms.

The chance for storms looks to return Monday afternoon for our members in Indiana, portions of western Ohio and northern Kentucky.

There is still some uncertainty about how strong these possible storms could be. The showers early in the day could limit the severe potential. Updates will be posted as needed.
