A Threat of DANGEROUS Storms Continue Tonight


Good evening, Bowling Green

It certainly has been a stormy afternoon for most of South Central KY!
We have had reports of a large and dangerous tornado in Muhlenberg KY.

The NWS Louisville calls the threat to continue into the evening as well as a Tornado Watch until 11 PM CDT. The environment is very conducive to tornadoes with plenty of shear and instability for the storms to tap into. All of the storms that have formed near our area have immediately started to rotate giving us a good chance of tornadoes.

Latest from NWS Louisville:

...Forecast Update...
Issued at 520 PM EDT Tue May 10 2016

The severe threat continues across the area this evening. More
discrete cells have pulsed up across west and south central KY. Some
of these cells will have the potential to produce tornadoes in
addition to large hail and damaging winds. Thus, south central KY
has been upgraded to a Tornado Watch through 04Z. (04Z = 11 PM CDT)
