A Tornado Watch is in effect for all of the Bluegrass of Kentucky until 1:00PM today. Here is a look at where the watch box is located:
The line of thunderstorms that came through this morning was round 1. The line moving through western KY as of 7:45EST this morning is round 2. It is producing many tornado warnings, and from what I understand some of them have been verified. Round 3 will occur around lunchtime or after today. This will likely be in the form of a severe squall line that develops along the cold front itself. It will have potential to produce wind damage and tornadoes...so we must watch it closely.
Stay near a NOAA weather radio today, and know your plan in case severe weather threatens your area!

I figured the daytime heating would intensify these especially in the 3rd round. When will they be visible on radar?
ReplyDeleteIF round #3 develops, we're talking lunchtime or thereabouts today. We've still got a while.
ReplyDeleteRight now, we must watch round #2 closely. It is holding together nicely and is continuing to prompt tornado WARNINGS near the I-65 corridor. I urge everyone to take this seriously. The Frankfort/Lawrenceburg/Versailles area will be affected by these storms in the next 30-45 minutes. Many KY counties will be under the gun before it's said and done.
