KENTUCKY — As many continue to clean up from Friday's storms, we are bracing for another round of severe weather.

What You Need To Know

  • A first round of thunderstorms will move through Kentucky this morning

  • Strong to severe storms are expected by late afternoon into the evening

The Storm Prediction Center has parts of the area under a slight and moderate risk.

Our storm threat will come in two waves. We are starting off this morning with scattered showers and thunderstorms. A few stronger storms will be possible, with damaging winds and heavy rain the main threats. We could even see a few more storms around lunchtime.

If the atmosphere recovers in the afternoon, severe storms will be likely with damaging winds, large hail and a few tornadoes possible between 2 p.m. to midnight. 

 
 
 

Heavy rainfall and flooding could also be another concern. One to 2 inches of rain will be possible, with localized areas in southern Kentucky up to 3 inches of rain. A Flood Watch is out until late tonight for parts of the area.

The storms should push out by midnight.
