Possible Wind Damage Today

A cold front to our NW brought a round of thunderstorms for many in central Kentucky last night.  This was the "appetizer" if you will.  Today, the main course will be served as the front pushes into the state.

The sun is now shining in the Bluegrass of Kentucky as of 9:30EDT and instability is on the way up.  Outflow boundaries from last night's storms have left areas to generate new storms upon.  Moisture is there and forcing will be there later today as the front approaches.  This should set the stage for another round of storms that will be more widespread across Kentucky this evening.

The tornado threat will be higher to our NE across parts of PA but it will still be non-zero across KY as well.  The main threat though is wind damage here and SPC has included most of KY in the high-end Slight Risk for wind damage today.

Stay weather aware!
