The storm system that brought potential tornadoes to the area late Wednesday will stick around through the upcoming weekend

What You Need To Know

  • A few more stronger storms are possible today

  • Daily storm chances are expected into the weekend   

  • Life-threatening flooding will be possible

The stalled frontal boundary combined with plenty of moisture will bring more storms and plenty of heavy rainfall to the area.

The Storm Prediction Center (SPC) keeps a lot of the area under a slight risk for strong to severe storms mainly this afternoon into the evening. Damaging winds, hail and a few tornado warnings can't be ruled out. The severe risk is much lower compared to Wednesday night, thankfully.

With daily chances for storms, we can't rule out strong to severe storms both Friday and Saturday, too.

With the stalled frontal boundary staying parked over our area through the weekend, the flooding threat is very high. We are under a Flood Watch through the weekend. There is strong wording from the National Weather Service in the watch, stating this is expected to be a "high-end event with life-threatening flooding."

Watching for stronger storms to return this afternoon and evening. Waves of rain and storms will continue Friday through early on Sunday.

Rainfall could add up quickly, with amounts getting close to 10 inches or more. Lighter amounts are possible in eastern Kentucky.
