Severe Weather Possible Saturday



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!

Severe Weather Moving Out










Severe Weather is moving out of the blog's coverage area. I want to thank everyone that stopped by the live blog as we tested it out for the first day today. It is something I will do as often as possible when severe weather is moving through the area.



However we've seen some heavy rain over the last few hours and some local steams and creeks could come out of their banks. Keep an eye on water levels in you live in a flood prone area.

We could see more rain tonight as low pressure continues to cross the area. Here's Radar to track any more rain we see tonight:


Thanks once again for stopping by the old weather blog. I'll have updates as needed. Look for regular updates to begin again next Wednesday.
