Strong to severe thunderstorms are likely today, especially across the Slight Risk Area where conditions are more favorable for severe weather. However, brief spin up tornadoes are possible within a squall line that will push through in the late afternoon and evening hours. As of right now it is cloudy across Central Kentucky, we will need to see if instability will build as the day goes on. Nonetheless, stay weather aware today!
