We should get a break from the rain and possible thunderstorms starting late Sunday around Tuesday. Then the possibility for strong to severe storms returns Wednesday afternoon in the the evening hours. High temps could range from the mid to upper 70s in western parts of the state. Most of the state will see high temps in the mid 60s to low 70s. After the precipitation moves through temps temps should fall into the low to mid 40s by Thursday morning. Here are some maps to show what may happen. Check back for more updates as we get closer.

 

 

 

Sunday morning update:

 

The Storm Prediction Center now has parts of Kentucky with a chance of strong to severe storms Wednesday into Thursday. Conditions could be favorable to support a considerable organized severe weather potential, including evolving storm cluster and supercell activity. Severe wind gusts and tornadoes will be possible with the strongest activity, along with a risk for large hail. I look for the threat level for this time period to grow and the SPC will upgrade the probabilities with their following outlooks.

 

Keep Checking back for updates.

 

The SPC has increased the threat level for strong to severe storms for Wednesday to a category 2 Slight Risk area. For now this area is east of a line from Owensboro to around Russellville. Organized severe development looks to be possible over a fairly broad area. The risk could be discrete supercell storms mainly late Wednesday afternoon into Wednesday evening. I can't post any maps this morning because the National Centers for Environment Prediction has been having slowdowns with their servers. Hopefully I'll be able to post some later today. Keep checking back for updates.
