Tornado Watch for Louisville 11/17/13 w/Updates

It took a while, but Norman OK Storm Prediction Center has issued a Tornado Watch for central KY, including Louisville, Bowling Green, and Frankfort until 10pm EST.

Probabilities include a 40 percent chance of 2 or more tornadoes within the Watch area, some possibly strong.

This is not a PDS Watch. However, the threat for isolated tornadoes does exist for the area.

The primary action continues to unfold to our northwest and will eventually affect a chunk of central and northern Indiana.

Major damage east of Peoria IL, resembling EF-3 to EF-4 damage. Unbelievable.

More updates later...
