It is another spring like day with highs going to be in the lower 70’s and the low will be around 60 degrees.

Tomorrow is when things start to get interesting.  As it has been in the forecast for three days there is a slight risk of severe weather for everything east of I 57.  (See graphic above)

Here is today’s Hazardous Weather Outlook form the National Weather Service from Paducah KY

A chance of thunderstorms exists Friday afternoon and evening ahead of a cold front. This includes a slight risk of severe storms, mainly over southwest Indiana and the Pennyrile of western Kentucky. Damaging winds will be the primary severe weather hazard, but large hail and isolated tornadoes will also be potential hazards.

Tomorrow will be a situation that you need to keep abreast of with your favorite local media source.  The Facebook page will be updated frequently, as well as the website as much as possible.

The weekend will be much cooler with highs in the 40’s.  A warming trend will take place early next week, with a chance of showers and Thunderstorms on Tuesday.

 

Today it will be partly cloudy with on and off showers existing until evening with a high in the upper 60’s and lows will be in the upper 40’s

Tomorrow and Thursday will be gorgeous, with highs in the lower 70’s and lows in the lower 50’s.

There will be one round of storms roll in late Thursday night and another around Friday afternoon.  The severity at this point is to far out to determine.

The TORCON from Dr. Greg Forbes of the Weather Channel. is a 3 for the region on Friday.  This means there is a 30% of a tornadic event 50 miles from the region.

This does not mean that there will be a destructive tornado, it means there is that chance of going under a Tornado Warning because of rotation.

It will be much cooler for the duration, with highs in the upper 40’s on Saturday, moderating to the mid 50’s on Tuesday.

 

It is going to be sunny today with a high temperature in the lower 70’s

Tonight there is a 70% chance of showers and thunderstorms after midnight with the lows in the middle 50’s

Tomorrow there is a 40% chance of rain with highs in the upper 60’s, lows in the upper 40’s

Wednesday and Thursday will be partly sunny with highs in the lower 70’s lows in the mid to upper 50’s.

Friday might be interesting around here.  The Storm Prediction Center has everything basically east of I 57 in a fifteen percent chance of seeing severe weather.  I know that sounds low, but it is equivalent for being under a slight risk.  (See graphic above)

When the SPC has an area highlighted five days in advance, the confidence is pretty high.
