October 13, 201411 yr I'm going into severe weather alert mode for today. The risk for severe thunderstorms has increase especially for Western Ky. for later today. A MDT risk indicates a potential for a greater concentration of severe thunderstorms than the slight risk, and in most situations, the storms and associated severe weather are more intense. Here is our storm tracking center. http://bluegrasspreps.com/bluegrasspreps-coms-break/severe-weather-tracker-279174.html
October 13, 201411 yr Author As of now it looks like these storms will hit Kentucky later this evening and transverse to central/eastern Ky overnight into Tuesday.
October 13, 201411 yr Author Getting ready to leave for work. As this situation develops I'll check back when time permits it with updates.

October 13, 201411 yr It's been pouring down rain here since about 2am CST and there's a lot of pooling already. No bad storms yet, just a steady, heavy rain.
October 13, 201411 yr Author The severe storms shouldn't be in the Louisville area until around midnight tonight. This is just the first round.
October 13, 201411 yr Author Just a quick check in. I see a mesoscale discussion has been issued for WKY for a severe thunderstorm watch. I haven't had a chance to read it but I will soon. This usually means a watch maybe issued soon.
October 13, 201411 yr Author A severe weather watch maybe issued for WKY later this morning or this afternoon. There is a greater potential for surface heating because of the breaks in the clouds. This means more destabilization of the atmosphere. This could mean supercell storm development before the main line reaches WKY. Also there is a possibility that this possible watch area could be extended eastward. I'll be back as soon as I can when I get new info.
October 13, 201411 yr Not technically WKY here, but it's darkening up and the winds have picked up considerably.
October 13, 201411 yr Author This is just the preliminary round. The main line is not supposed to be in the Louisville area until around midnight.
October 13, 201411 yr Sun has been out for a couple hours in Louisville. It's really nice here right now.
