Slight Risk of severe tomorrow.

There is a slight risk of severe weather across all of West KY and portions of far Northwest Middle Tennessee tomorrow evening and tomorrow night. This exists from a Parsons TN line to a Guthrie KY line westward. The strongest storms may contain damaging winds. In a highly sheared environment a brief funnel/tornado spin-up cannot be totally ruled out.

Highs in the upper 60's tomorrow and lows tomorrow night into Wednesday morning will bottom out to the 38-44 range. I'm ready.

Severe Thunderstorm Watch

A cluster/line segment of storms is about to cross the Miss. River. Severe storms are possible with damaging winds of 58-70MPH being the main threat as the storms move through the area. Impacts will be felt along the Ohio River and MS River at around 9ish, and clear Western KY and NW Middle TN at around midnight, and press on towards the Nashville TN area after midnight.  T-Storm Watch for West KY till midnight.

Overview

An interesting first day of fall severe weather season. Reports of a brief tornado in far West McCracken county. Thankfully the damage in Ballard/McCracken counties is only tree/powerline type, and no injuries of any sort. Locally Heavy rain tonight. May be a strong storm in West Middle TN, but think the tornado threat is over for the night.

Tornado on the ground

Tornado report on the ground near Woodville KY moving towards the nw part of Paducah before going into Massac County IL. Take cover now in that area don't wait.

Severe update

Funnel Cloud in far north Ballard County 6 moving towards Bandana and Monkey's Eyebrow 

region. Could produce a tornado at anytime.

Tornado Warning NW McCracken and Ballard County.

Funnel Cloud halfway to the ground in this area near the IL/KY border near the Ballard State Waterfowl Management area moving northeast.
Tornado Watch till 10pm in far West KY and Tornado Warning for Ballard County till 715pm

Isaac Impacts?

The remnants of Isaac will move over Missouri then move across IL/IN/OH as a weak cold front picks the remnant system up. In far Western KY from along and west of US 45, and right along the Ohio River 1-3 inches of rain is possible. Locally more if heavier bands form, and localized flooding may occur under these heavier bands if they from. Elsewhere in Western KY and into Middle TN .75 to just under 2 inches of rain is in the forecast. Wind gusts of 30-35mph may cause issues on area lakes for a part of Labor Day Weekend. The heaviest rain chances are for Friday and Saturday.

Good lake day

Very good lake day today. There is some scattered rain in Western TN and SE Missouri, but don't think that will negatively impact the lake day. Lake Day 4 out of 5 tomorrow as some isolated to scattered storm activity may occur, but still a nice day.

Lake Day

5 out of 5 lake day for Western KY and the Grand Rivers Marina Day

Storm update

Those storms have weaken but still could contain 40-50MPH winds and vivid lightning which is dangerous for those out on the lakes.

Severe storm

Salem, Reidland, Smithland, Burna, Calvert City prepare for 59-70MPH winds with the storm moving towards you. 

Update

All of Western KY and NW Middle TN is in a Slight Risk of severe weather this afternoon and tonight. Think that the best threat for severe storms will be along and west of US 45, as that is where things are more unstable.

Interesting day possible

  Watching out for the risk of severe storms during the day tomorrow.  A few storms could go severe with damaging winds and large hail.  There may even be enough low level shear for a brief tornado spinup.  This isn't expected to be a widespread event, but could be interesting by August standards.  How much cloudcover hangs around early will determine how much of a threat there is for strong to severe storms.

Better days ahead

Highs in the 96-99 range today. A cold front moves into the area tomorrow and causes chances of thunderstorms. Some storms could be severe with the best chances of severe weather in the Evansville Tri-State area. Nice weather for the weekend lows could get down into the upper 50's.

Storm chances tomm.

Rain chances later tonight. Some thunder and lightning. A few storms may have damaging wind potential tomorrow afternoon. In Western KY this will occur from 11am-6pm and Middle TN in the afternoon-early evening hours. Lake Day a dismal 2 out of 5.
