May 2, 20197 yr Author The Slight Risk Area has been expanded some by the Storm Prediction Center. Severe Thunderstorms capable of mainly damaging wind gusts and hail, and the possibility of tornadoes are possible. The fly in the ointment that could limit the for the severe potential will be the rain this morning. For now the timing looks to be from early afternoon into the evening hours before the scattered storms leave Kentucky. This is from 1 pm to 11 pm EST. I will update later this morning.
May 2, 20197 yr Author There is an area of mesoscale vortex that is present over Indiana that has a trailing line of storms over southern Indiana into central Kentucky. This system has a chance of intensification this afternoon as heating and destabilization occur. Damaging winds and hail look to be the primary threats. As always a tornado or two can't be completely ruled out. Most of western Kentucky is now in a Category 1 Marginal Risk Area.
