Tornado Watch for Western Kentucky

Storm Prediction Center says two lines of strong to severe storms should impact the shaded areas. The Watch goes through 6pm est.

Currently, there have been a few reports of wind damage near St Louis.

We, who are east of this Watch box, need to pay special attention to this setup of two lines. If, and I do mean if, we are able to develop some instability, the first line could have impacts, possibly related to isolated tornadoes. Otherwise, the first line could just have pockets of heavy rain that may preclude severe weather along the second line.

This looks to be a complicated storm system as far as severe weather chances. Best chances reside west and south of our region of central Kentucky.

Timing the storms' arrival so far is poor. Models slow the whole line now. But a vigorous squall line may speed things along. The earlier that storms can arrive, higher severe weather risks.

Nowcast event underway.
