Unlike the last storm that rolled through, this go around we're getting the day time heating with the sun being out. Humidity doesn't feel all that ripe but who knows how that'll play out as the front approaches.

The major danger window for Kentucky will be later this evening and throughout the night. This is illustrated in the lightning flash intensity map below. It covers from 2:00 PM Thursday to 5:00 AM Friday.
