Heavy Rain and Strong Storm Threat

Parameters are not jumping off the charts to support severe weather, but analogs for the region do favor a marginal threat for severe thunderstorms. I have an average of 6.0, which is not as likely of a severe threat we had last week (when it was a 4.8 average ranking).

However, we don't have the 'other' factors necessary for widespread damaging storms. As of 2:00pm, the NWS Louisville is following a strong 'thunderstorm', though I have yet to detect a single lightning strike to the west of Louisville.

Nevertheless, the line contains heavy rain and strong winds. We'll see how this unfolds. But there is a continuous stream of storms that reaches all the way back to Missouri, where several flooding issues are still ongoing.
