A dynamic system is expected to impact the area this weekend. The first round will be tonight with damaging wind being the primary threat.
In addition to the storms, Saturday’s system also poses a heavy rainfall threat. Conditions leading into this event are much drier than the past one, so widespread river flooding is not expected. The concern is for flash/areal flooding in places that see multiple rounds of activity, especially if thunderstorms begin to train.
A second round of severe thunderstorms is possible Saturday afternoon and evening. A Slight Risk remains in place for the whole area except portions of Wayne and McCreary County which is under an Enhanced Risk. Damaging winds, large hail and spin-up tornadoes are the primary concern with these storms.
