The first TORNADO WATCH of 2008 is out for much of western and west central Kentucky. The watch includes Shelbyville, Bardstown and Etown in our coverage area.

The Storm Prediction Center issued the watch at 14:30 EST. This is the 9th tornado watch issued in the US this year.
I am so excited! Wonder how things will progress as the storms move this way…
