July 25, 20179 yr 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.
July 26, 20179 yr Author Wednesday morning update: As expected this morning the Storm Prediction Center has expanded the Slight Risk Area for Thursday. As of now, the entire state of Kentucky is included. Along with parts of southern Indiana and Ohio. Strong/locally severe storms are forecast to spread across the region Thursday afternoon and evening. The risk may also continue into the overnight hours. Some could see from 1-2" of rain under the stronger storms. Update later today.
July 26, 20179 yr After tonight it can rain all it wants any day, my summer softball league ends tonight. LOL League runs all June and July, and it's the 2nd year in a row only been rained out one night the entire season.
July 26, 20179 yr Author Wednesday evening update: The severe threat has diminished some but scattered thunderstorms will develop on Thursday. A few storms may produce gusty winds. There maybe a few damaging downbursts possible. The Storm Prediction Center has Kentucky now in a Marginal Risk Area for strong to severe storms on Thursday. The Weather Prediction Center has all of Kentucky southern Indiana and southern Ohio in a Slight Risk Area for rainfall exceeding flash flood criteria. As I stated earlier this morning some parts of Kentucky could see upwards to 2" of rain by early Friday morning.
July 27, 20179 yr Author Thursday morning update: Really no changes to the forecast. The only thing I will change is that some parts of Kentucky may now receive around 3" of rain. This looks to be parts of western and eastern Kentucky. A small area around Lexington also. These storms look to develop throughout the day with the strongest storms being this afternoon. A marginal damaging wind threat looks to be the main thing to look for.
July 27, 20179 yr It's raining HARD here in Erlanger/Florence area now. Yup, hell of a rain storm and wind passed thru Fort Mitchell area a few minutes ago.
