Lake Day 3 out of 5 for Saturday May 29th
Tomorrow is a 3 out of 5 Lake Day, but a little system will move across the south and cause some scattered thunderstorms across the Land Between the Lakes areas esp. TN part. Storms will be non-severe, but could contain locally heavy rain, and a lightning threat. If you hear thunder, and your on the lake your urged to seek shelter to prevent being struck by Lightning till the storm is over.
Remember a 3 out of 5 is not a lost lake day. It means that there is a chance of a hazard(for tom. lightning), and to exercise caution when going out to the lakes. Still go out there and have fun, just watch for any lightning threat that may form in the afternoon or evening hours.
A band of thunderstorms is moving across parts of the lakes from New Concord to Trigg/Stewart County line south. Although non-severe lightning is a real threat for boaters and swimmers. More thunderstorms may move across Muhlenberg, Christian, Todd, and Trigg Counties before coverage starts to decrease as we lose daytime heating.
4 out of 5 lake day today for KY side. 3 out of 5 for TN side. This is for May 28th 2010 today. Scattered thunderstorms will form today,it will not be a washout,but if you hear thunder, then your close enough to get struck by lightning. In the TN side of the lakes the coverage may be a little greater, but still will ...not be a total washout so anyone going to the lake enjoy. Lake Malone is also a 4 out of 5 as well.

93 years ago. Great Purchase Area Outbreak
Posted from an old Myspace blog. My Spelling and typing wasn't up to par in 07, so there are several grammar, and even a few misspellings.
Also since this 93 years old little is known about this, so really all I had to go by was tornado databases from NWS Memphis, Nashville, and Paducah.
THE MOST DEADLIST TORNADO IN THE JACKSON PURCHASE AREA 67 DEATHS 345 INJURIES (65 IN WESTERN KENTUCKY) lets start with this tornado this was an F-4. To prevent confusion we are going use the original scale this affected FULTON,HICKMAN,GRAVES counties in western Kentucky in our area. This tornado started in Lake County Tennessee in extreme northwestern Tennessee. This storm was the most powerful and deadliest tornado on the day of May 27th 1917 and the deadliest for our area and one of our more deadlier severe weather death tolls. The tornado formed in northwestern tennessee near Tiptonville Tennessee around 4pm then crossed Fulton County about 7 miles WSW of Hickman Ky then with an southwestern to northeastern movement struck the county seat of Hickman directly where it was made a disaster area, and F-4 damage was done as the tornado crossed this area Fulton County and the city of Hickman Ky suffered some of the worst losses of the day F-4 means that several houses and structures were badly damaged and destroyed so Hickman packed a punch from this. Fulton County suffered an heavy death toll of 42 in Fulton County this tornado moved into Hickman County after it went though Fulton County also know that this area particularly Hickman and Fulton Counties were a little bit more populated than today because of the railroads booming in this time period. The tornado crossed Hickman county form the southwest corner about 6 or 7 miles southwest of Clinton Kentucky this tornado destroyed and heavily damaged the southeast city of Clinton Ky where a good deal of the 18 deaths in Hickman county occurred this tornado moved though eastern Hickman county and into western Graves County this storm struck north of the Fancy Farm area to near the small community of Dublin where 5 more people died. All and all 2 in extreme western Tennessee 42 deaths in Fulton County, 18 in Hickman County/Clinton Ky area, and 5 in rural Graves County. This is a F-4 tornado with a 800 mile wide path about as wide as the Christian County Ky tornado of Apr 2nd 2006. This path of the tornado was 50 miles long.
Also a deadly F2 occurred in Carlisle County on this same outbreak as well.
This outbreak was part of a sequence like May 2003 tornado sequence(there was a severe wx event every day, or nearly every day for a long period of time, usually greater than 5 day) that started in Late May and didn't die down till Early June of 1917. A deadly tornado hit Muhlenberg County in Early June 1917 from this same sequence.

Lake Day forecast for Friday the 28th
Storms will form today along the cold front, and be scattered, maybe a little more widespread than the last few days, but still no washout.
Good news is Friday there is limited chance of thunderstorms, but there is still a chance around 30% from east of Lake Barkley Lodge, and along and south of US 68. And around 20% for the rest of the lakes, and this also includes Lake Malone as well. This will not be a washout at all, but there could be an isolated storm in the afternoon, that people on the lake may need to be on the watch for. Overall the winds should be from the North, North-Northeast at about 6 to 9 mph so not really gusty. 20-30% chance of thunderstorms is also present, but overall a good day.
The Lake Day Rating for Friday May,28th,2010 is 4 out of 5.

Pre Summer Time Pop Corn Storms
http://www.crh.noaa.gov/news/display_cmsstory.php?wfo=pah&storyid=52862&source=0
Some storms reached strong to severe limits yesterday with some hail, and lightning shows.
Throughout the days up and until Friday isolated to scattered storms could form esp. in the afternoon hours.
Also starting on Thursday, for Memorial Day, and running until Labor Day Weekend will be the lake forecast. Which will be the forecast for any lakes, and rivers in the area, and will give a rating depending on several factors, that will determine whether it is a good lake day, a bad lake day, or just an okay lake day. One is the worst lake day, and Five is the best lake day according to the scale we will use. More on that when we do our first lake day forecast on Thursday Night. Also the lake day forecast will be given if possible the night before, and revised if needed. All weekends (Friday,Saturday, Sunday, and even Monday on holiday weekends) from Memorial Day until Labor Day will have a Lake Day forecast number.

Update on River Flooding
Some river flooding issues are being realized. Along the Green River in Calhoun, Paradise, and Rochester KY. Also flooding is being watched along the Ohio River, as the severe and potentially historic river flooding will move into the Ohio River. Several secondary roads are still flooded in Christian County because the rivers in that county are tributaries to the Cumberland that is flooding in Mid TN.
THE GREEN RIVER
Some Flood Levels
The Green River At Paradise is 389.6 Feet. Flood Stage is 380 feet the Green River is expected to rise to 396.9 feet on Thursday Afternoon before falling. This is a major flood.
The Green River at Calhoun is at 24.0 Feet. Flood Stage is 23 feet, and it is projected to crest near 31.0 feet with additional rises cannot be ruled out, this is near Major Flood Stage, and several acres of farmlands and roads can be flooded.
The Green River at Rochester is at 21.5 Feet. Moderate Flooding is in the forecast, and is projected to near 28.8 feet on Friday Morning.
Right now we are not expected 1997 levels along the Green River, but we could see some damage, and roads near the river could be impassable for days.

Two areas of storms appear to threaten to West KY. First is the hailers across Hopkins, Mclean,Muhlenberg County. These storms have produced golf ball sized hail. Those are part of storms that could cause some flooding, and more severe weather as they move from Mid TN into West KY.
Another area is a bow echo approaching the far west ky area. There is a confirmed tornado in the TN side of the storm. That storm may move towards Fulton/Mayfield KY area and will have to be watched.

One supercell is moving towards the Franklin TN area. Very large hail golfball size or bigger is possible in NW Mid TN and SW and South Central KY.
Two forms areas of severe storms are concerns for tonight into early tomm. Mainly from 11pm-6:30am. One is the cluster of the supercells in East Arkansas will move into SW KY, West Mid TN overnight.
