My daughter was in Nashville about an hour ago. She asked, should she leave and go home? I told her yes. Glad she did. 

Particularly Dangerous Tornado warning.

The area has just been expanded to I-75, including Somerset and Mt Vernon.

My daughter was returning from Nashville and passed by this exit and she said she saw people standing outside the hotels. No word on any injuries yet. 

Also, there was some damage to Motel 8 hotel near Exit 22.

I just got a call from my son that the LaQuinta Inn on Scottsville Rd. near I-65 exit 22 lost it's roof. This is about 3-5 miles, if that far from my son's house. We take this exit to go to my son's house. 

The threat to Bowling Green has passed for now. More storms may be forming to the southeast of Russellville. For now, it appears to be mainly heavy rain and high winds.

It appears that the radar-indicated rotation is now past Bowling Green and is now just southeast of Smith's Grove.

Wall cloud and funnel south side of Bowling Green. Looks like the intersection of 31w and I-165.

I just heard from my son. This is taking just about the same track as the December 2021 tornado.

The rotation of this storm has widened this is a sign of its weakening but could restrengthen at any time. 

Just got the latest from NWS-Louisville. This is a long-track tornado. Everyone in the path of this tornado should take this very seriously.

 URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED
   Tornado Watch Number 714
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   1135 AM CST Sat Dec 9 2023

   The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a

   * Tornado Watch for portions of 
     Southeast Arkansas
     Western and Central Kentucky
     Northern Mississippi
     Western and Middle Tennessee

   * Effective this Saturday morning and evening from 1135 AM until
     700 PM CST.

   * Primary threats include...
     A few tornadoes likely
     Scattered damaging wind gusts to 70 mph possible
     Isolated large hail events to 1 inch in diameter possible

   SUMMARY...Strong to severe thunderstorms will continue to develop
   and increase through early afternoon near an eastward-moving cold
   front, with additional/more isolated development also possible ahead
   of it later this afternoon. Increasingly low-level moisture and
   strong shear will support the potential for severe storms including
   a few tornadoes.

   The tornado watch area is approximately along and 85 statute miles
   east and west of a line from 30 miles north of Bowling Green KY to 5
   miles east southeast of Monticello AR. For a complete depiction of
   the watch see the associated watch outline update (WOUS64 KWNS
   WOU4).

   PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

   REMEMBER...A Tornado Watch means conditions are favorable for
   tornadoes and severe thunderstorms in and close to the watch
   area. Persons in these areas should be on the lookout for
   threatening weather conditions and listen for later statements
   and possible warnings.

A few tornadoes, damaging to severe thunderstorm gusts, and isolated severe hail are possible today and tonight from portions of the Ohio Valley southward to the central Gulf Coast. A few tornadoes, damaging to severe thunderstorm gusts, and isolated severe hail are possible today and tonight from portions of the Ohio Valley southward to the central Gulf Coast.

The severe threat has increased since this morning. I expect the level 2 Slight Risk area to be expanded to include Louisville and points east to about I-75.  The main threat window for possible severe storms that could produce tornadoes is 4–10 p.m. EST. The severe storm threat should exit eastern Kentucky early Sunday morning.

I forgot to add these maps to the first post.

The latest outlook from the Storm Prediction Center has extended a level 2 Slight Risk Area into southcentral Kentucky. This area is centered around Bowling Green.  In advance of a cold front, conditions will be in place across parts of Texas and Louisiana Saturday morning and stream northward into parts of the Southeast and TN Valley through the day, which could allow severe storms to form. Surface-based thunderstorms are expected to increase in coverage on Saturday afternoon. Large hail will be possible with any sustained supercells. Also, increasing low-level shear will be sufficient to support a tornado threat with any supercells that can be sustained from late afternoon into the evening, especially if stronger squall lines develop. Otherwise, damaging wind and possibly embedded, brief tornadoes may become the primary threat on Saturday night as storms move eastward, with a gradual weakening trend expected due to diminishing buoyancy. 

The level 1 Marginal Risk Area has been expanded to include much of Kentucky west of I-75. Scattered severe thunderstorms with damaging winds, hail, and a low-level tornado threat will be possible Saturday afternoon and evening. I will post an update later and possibly go into a severe weather alert day. 

The threat level for portions of WKY has been raised to a level 1 Marginal Risk Area for Saturday afternoon into the evening hours.

Strong storms are possible on Saturday, mainly for western Kentucky.  With a highly amplified/positive-tilt upper trough over the central states, thunderstorm development will become widespread along and ahead of the front by afternoon. This trough will have strong southwesterly winds, bringing more warm, humid air from the south into Kentucky. As of now, dew points are forecast to rise into the 50s. If this trend continues, we could see dew points rise into the 60s. Air temperatures will also rise into the mid-to-upper 60s. As of now, in their day 4 outlook, the Storm Prediction Center omits WKY in the Slight Chance area, but I would not be surprised if that changes shortly. The storm segments possibly appear to be damaging winds, hail, and a low-end tornado threat. Updates will be posted soon.
