Update, Threat is still increasing.
- Click to Enlarge. We are still under a Moderate Risk, but the increasing threat of a nocturnal Severe Weather Outbreak, and the possibility for long tracked windstorms/tornadoes has lead to me putting out a High Risk of Tornadoes for most of the area for tonight.
Something to add
- Dependent on the cap(there is a chance of a few supercells in SW KY this evening, before the main event.) This would occur say from 5pm-9pm. These may or may not form, and the cap may hold till the main event, but if they do occur large hail, damaging winds, and tornadoes are possible, dependent on if supercells form.
- If they don't you stil lhave a Quasi-Linear-System late tonight, into Monday Morning, or from 2am-9am. With a threat of widespread damaging winds, large hail, and isolated tornadoes(esp. in breaks in the line, and such.)

Tornado Watch 15
Tornado Watch #15 in effect for all of Western KY except for Union,Henderson,Daviess counties till 10pm.
Update
Wouldn't be surprised to see the MDT risk trimmed southward. I was a little skeptical about it anyway.
Update MDT moves a little bit.
- Instability will be quite low, and the level of threat will depend on how far north the warm front comes.
- There is a threat for a Damaging winds, and isolated tornado/hail threat, along with heavy rain, and flooding concerns.
Stay Tuned, and Review your flooding/severe weather tips.
Feb. 24th overview
Timing of event- 4pm-11pm seems to be a good range.
- The main threats are:
- Heavy Rain 2 to 4 inches(maybe locally 5 near the TN borders).
- A Moderate Risk of Severe Weather from Hickman to Murray KY southward, and a Slight Risk elsewhere.
- Severe threat increases further SW you go in the area, and decreases the further N, or NE you go in the area.
- Damaging Winds(main storm mode should be clusters, and maybe a squall line early this evening)
- Isolated Tornadoes
Heavy Rain closing in.
Heavy showers, and thunderstorms across the TN/KY border will slowly move northward into Kentucky, as the warm front lifts northward. Lightning, heavy rain, and possibility some flooding issues may occur throughout the morning hours. Areas south of Dover TN have reported 1.5 to 2 inches of rain an hour with the heaviest storms.
