…STRONG STORM SYSTEM TO BRING ANOTHER ROUND OF SEVERE WEATHER TO
THE REGION TUESDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING…
THE LATEST WEATHER FORECASTS INDICATE THAT A STRONG STORM SYSTEM
DEVELOPING ACROSS THE ROCKIES WILL MOVE EAST AND BRING ANOTHER
ROUND OF SEVERE WEATHER TO THE REGION ON TUESDAY. SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS THE AREA MONDAY NIGHT AND
EARLY TUESDAY…MAINLY WEST OF I-65.
BY TUESDAY AFTERNOON…THE COLD FRONT IS FORECAST TO MOVE INTO FAR
WESTERN KENTUCKY. THE COMBINATION OF THE FRONT…ALONG WITH
INCREASING INSTABILITY AND VERY STRONG WINDS ALOFT WILL SET THE
STAGE FOR ANOTHER LARGE SQUALL LINE TO DEVELOP. THE LINE OF
INTENSE THUNDERSTORMS WILL SURGE EASTWARD THROUGH THE REGION
TUESDAY NIGHT.
AT THIS TIME…THIS STORM SYSTEM LOOKS VERY SIMILAR TO THE ONE
THAT AFFECTED THE AREA LAST WEEK. WIDESPREAD DAMAGING WINDS ARE
THE MAIN SEVERE WEATHER THREAT WITH THE ACTIVITY FOR TUESDAY
NIGHT. HOWEVER…GIVEN THE STRONG WIND FIELDS…THERE IS THE
POSSIBILITY THAT SOME ISOLATED TORNADOES COULD BE EMBEDDED WITHIN
THE SQUALL LINE.
NOW WOULD BE A GOOD TIME TO REVIEW YOUR SEVERE WEATHER SAFETY
PLANS WITH YOUR FAMILY. KNOW HOW TO GET THE LATEST SEVERE WEATHER
WARNING INFORMATION AND KNOW WHAT TO DO IF A WARNING IS ISSUED FOR
YOUR COUNTY.
