Large Hail Possible Today

I don't think the NWS office here in Louisville handled the convective complex along the warm front very well for the overnight period, as precip probabilities were either extremely low or nil for the Louisville area.

However, as I speak, a noisy thunderstorm is occurring over my location along with a temperature of 48 degrees. Admittedly, the NWS did update their grid to include the area for scattered storms this morning, but this was not the case before the end of the Ohio St/Kansas game last night.

The main focus for today's weather will be the return of very warm temperatures for the region, as highs are expected to breach 80 degrees, AGAIN. This could become the 10th day of 80 or higher for the Louisville area this year. Amazing!

Along with the return of warmer air will bring an increased chance of scattered strong to severe storms. As of this writing, the SPC was showing a swath of the region under a slight risk for severe thunderstorms with large hail as the principal threat. An update will be forthcoming within an hour. Stay tuned...\\
