Storms With Lots of Lightning

A line of storms near Santa Claus, Indiana to southwest of Owensboro continues to maintain its intensity as it progresses eastward. Lightning counts have been increasing over the past hour.

Will it hold together long enough to reach us here in Louisville?

We'll see. Typically storms begin to fizzle this time of day after lasting for several hours. Even if they do begin to weaken, I still expect precipitation here in Jefferson County by the two o'clock hour.

Right now, I am more concerned with the lightning count than anything else. But, if the line begins to collapse, strong winds often accompany such a feature. Otherwise, winds up to 40 mph along with pea-size hail and intense lightning should be expected.

UPDATE 2:30 pm
Strong storm pushes through Valley Station...Wind gusts of 40 mph and very heavy rainfall with a decreasing lightning count came through the area.

Over the past 3 days, I have recorded 0.4", 0.38", and now 0.38" respectively. Consistency indeed.
