April 8, 201511 yr The severe weather threat continues into day 2 on Wednesday. We seem to have a better chance of wide spread multicell and supercell tornadoes like the one that passed through Madison County yesterday evening. The main threat seems to damaging winds, large hail and possible tornadoes. The risk maybe increased later today so I'll be back with an update when the next outlooks are released. Our best risk for severe storms will come late Thursday into the overnight hours when the front passes through Kentucky. Take care and stay weather aware today. Categorical outlook Tornado outlook Wind outlook Hail outlook As of now the thunderstorm outlook says the best time for the severe storms for Kentucky is between noon and 4 pm.

April 8, 201511 yr Thank you nWo...find some garages folks if limited to on street parking, or trees to park under to protect vehicles from hail damage. Radar is showing some impressive lines of storms which may clip NKY communities within the next hour. Large hail and strong winds will accompany this line. Stay weather aware and keep an eye on the sky and your radar resources! NWS Enhanced Radar Mosaic: Central Great Lakes Sector Loop
April 8, 201511 yr Author Afternoon update: The chance for severe weather this afternoon into the overnight hours is on the increase. The enhance chance area has been extended along the Ohio River. So those who live in the counties along the Ohio should be on the lookout for very large hail, damaging winds and tornadoes. The rest of the state should mainly north of a line drawn across the state through Richmond from west to east could see mainly hail, damaging winds. Of course a tornado can't be ruled out.
