Warm temperatures, increased humidity, and breezy winds across Central Kentucky means area residents should be ready for the possibility of severe weather Friday night.
“We’re really expecting the most coverage kind of from late afternoon through the mid-evening hours, maybe even into the early overnight hours, Friday night,” said Meteorologist Chase Graham with the National Weather Service in Louisville. “We’re mainly concerned about some of the stronger storms having some damaging wind gusts and possibly some large hail. We can’t completely rule out that there might be a spin-up tornado, but the threat for tornadoes is much, much lower than the threat for winds and hail.”
Graham says the possibility of isolated flash floods should also not be ignored.
After some lingering showers Saturday, the front is expected to clear, bringing more stable conditions.
“High temperatures Saturday will struggle to make it into the low 70s and then we’re looking at low temperatures over the second half of the weekend and early next week that will be in the mid to upper 40s, maybe even some low 40s in spots,” Graham said.
Graham says make sure you have ways of staying alert to possible severe weather including text alerts, media sources, and social media.
