The National Weather Service in Paducah is monitoring the latest weather conditions concerning the severe weather threat Friday night into Saturday morning.
Forecasters say a regional outbreak of severe thunderstorms is likely with numerous tornadoes – several of which could be strong, widespread severe wind gusts ranging from 60-100 MPH, and scattered large hail up to baseball size likely. The latest guidance shows the storms could begin entering our region after 10:00 PM and push out of the region well before sunrise Saturday.
A second round could form Saturday morning into the early afternoon hours, which poses more of a flash flooding risk.
A Wind Advisory is in effect for all of western Kentucky until 4:00 Saturday morning, where south winds from 20-30 MPH with gusts of 45-50 MPH are expected outside of the severe storms. Some areas could even see gusts higher than 50 MPH.
