Hey everyone! I'm back with my thoughts on the potential for severe weather this weekend.
Thoughts outside of the video and summary:
*I think south eastern KY will see a few severe thunderstorms tomorrow. The majority of torandic activity stays west of us tomorrow, but not going to rule out a few storms going tornadic tomorrow.
*The main threats will be damaging winds, large hail, intense lightning and heavy rain.
*Some minor urban and stream flooding will be possible as we could see some heavy rains add up by Sunday morning. Here's HPC's thoughts on potential rainfall through Monday morning. However we need to rain, London is 4.66"s behind where it should be this time of year as of this morning.
My thoughts on the timeline of events:*A few stray showers and thunderstorms are possible over night tonight and early Saturday morning.
*By mid morning we catch a break in the action and will likely see some sunshine into early afternoon.
*By early afternoon *Say after 2 PM* we could see a few stray storms fire, these will have the best chance to produce large hail and tornadoes.
*Depending on how many of these stray showers pop will determine a bit of the impact of the main line of storms which moves through in the evening hours *Say after 6:30-7:00 PM*
*The line of storms moving through will drop heavy rain, have strong winds, lots of lightning and could spin up an isolated short lived twister.
I will take the blog live tomorrow afternoon here via Ustream with live up to the minute radar with analysis from me on any severe storms that enter Laurel or the surrounding counties. I will also have a chat going where you can ask questions and I'll answer. Until then keep an eye on the skies and turn those weather radios on. Take care!

Another awesome breakdown of the weather! Thanks, Shane! Now, because I love to be difficult, I have to ask...You mention west of I-75 has more potential to see severe weather than those east of I-75...what should those few unfortunate souls [myself included] that live along I-75 prepare for? LoL! Seriously, all joking aside, I do appreciate the effort that you put into giving those of us in south eastern KY, Laurel Co especially, an update when interesting weather could occur. If severe weather does break out, I'll be sure to check in here for the live blogging, provided that it is SAFE for me to do so. ;)
Chas, severe t'storms are possible tomorrow. The majority of it stays west of London but we can see a few big boomers out there.
Excellent explanation and breakdown, especially with the maps that we don't usually see. Keep up the excellent work.
