Good Afternoon Bowling Green,

The Storm Prediction Center has issued an Enhanced Risk of severe weather for our area. This means that numerous severe storms are possible. Some of the possible hazards associated with this risk include but are not limited to:
1. A few tornadoes
2. Several reports of wind damage
3. Damaging hail of 1-2" in diameter




Here is what they have written about our region:

A WELL-DEFINED SHORTWAVE TROUGH CURRENTLY OVER MO/IL WILL CONTINUE

TO TRACK NORTHEASTWARD TODAY ACROSS THE LOWER/MID OH VALLEY.  A
LONG-LIVED CLUSTER OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE ASSOCIATED WITH
THIS FEATURE. IT REMAINS UNCLEAR HOW THE CONVECTION IN THIS REGION
WILL EVOLVE DUE TO REMNANT CLOUDS OVER IND/OH/KY AND DELAYED
HEATING.  IT STILL APPEARS LIKELY THAT CLUSTER OF STORMS OVER SRN
IL/WRN KY WILL EVENTUALLY INTENSIFY TO SEVERE LEVELS...THUS HAVE
MAINTAINED THE ENH RISK.  IT ALSO APPEARS LIKELY THAT STORMS WILL
DEVELOP ALONG THE SOUTHERN FRINGE OF THE UPPER SYSTEM ACROSS KY AND
PERHAPS TN WHERE STRONG INSTABILITY WILL BE PRESENT.  WIND FIELDS
THROUGHOUT THIS REGION SUPPORT SUPERCELLULAR STRUCTURES CAPABLE OF
LARGE HAIL...DAMAGING WINDS...AND A TORNADO OR TWO.  IF ACTIVITY CAN
GROW UPSCALE...A MORE ORGANIZED WIND EVENT IS POSSIBLE.

We are also under a severe thunderstorm watch until 7 PM CDT which means conditions are favorable for severe thunderstorm development.

Our atmosphere is extremely unstable any storm that does pop up will likely go severe.
