Complex of Storms to Affect Our Region This Weekend

A series of MCS's will affect our weather at least thru Saturday night. Currently, RADAR has been indicating 3 different complexes, each with very heavy rain. During the heat of the day, additional complexes may form while these fade away. The ones that get cranking today will be capable of putting out damaging winds, very heavy rain, and dangerous lightning.

As I'm writing this post this morning, an impressive band of storms resides just west of Louisville. Feeding on a healthy low-level jet with moderate instability even at this hour, some storms have warranted severe thunderstorm warnings. Watch out for possible hail in some of the strongest storms along with winds approaching 30-40 mph.

Stronger storms are expected later during the heat of the day.
