Severe Storm Threat Rising Midweek

Rounds of showers and strong to severe storms will impact the Commonwealth Tuesday through Thursday morning; stay weather aware! After a fairly quiet Tuesday morning, watch for shower & storm development in the afternoon & evening, especially from the Bluegrass into northern counties. The more significant threat for severe storms will fire up Wednesday afternoon into the evening. All modes of severe storms are possible- tornadoes, large hail, damaging wind, and torrential rain. This has the potential to be a significant severe spring storm event. Know where your safe space is and have a way to receive alerts via watching on-air your smartphone, or NOAA weather radio. Highs will stay above normal, in the low to mid-80s Tuesday and Wednesday, then cool down significantly as we dry out and calm down later in the week.
