Severe Thunderstorm WATCHES On the Rise Today

Just issued...A Severe Thunderstorm Watch has been posted for a part of Tennessee. A line of Watches also exist to our west and northwest.

If conditions continue to destabilize around our region, I would not be surprised to see these Watches extend into west KY and southern Indiana at the very least.

Right now, I have been looking at the SPC's instability numbers. The rains from earlier are still hampering instability in Louisville and points just east. However, the numbers in western KY and west-central Indiana are beginning to show favorable signs for supporting strong to severe weather.

Closely monitor the time. If conditions do not begin showing rapid destabilization by 4-5 pm, chances for severe weather may begin to wane. But, I would not rule out isolated warnings for the Louisville County Warning Area as at the very least, a broken line of strong thunderstorms will progress southeastward and affect the region.

Highest chances for severe weather should remain just west and north of Louisville but would not be surprised to see parts of the region including Louisville placed in a Watch box.

Updates perhaps later...
