Strong storms possible Tuesday

NEWS STARTING OUT THIS LOOK AT YOUR TUESDAY FORECAST WITH TEMPERATURES ON THE WARM SIDE. BREEZY TO UPPER 60S AND LOW 70S 74 AT ALI INTERNATIONAL 73 IN SELLERSBURG ON THE HIGHER SIDE TO 67. IN E-TOWN, 68 IN MADISON. AND THOSE ARE ON THE COOLER SIDE OF THE TEMPERATURES THIS MORNING. WE’RE OUT AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT TO THE NORTH AND WEST. SO WARM AIR AFTER MID 80S. YESTERDAY WE PEAKED AT 86 DEGREES. WE HAVE MORE HUMIDITY COMING INTO OUR SKIES, AND AS THAT FRONT MOVES IN TO THE WARM AND HUMID AIR, WE’RE GOING TO KICK UP SOME SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM OPPORTUNITIES AS WE MOVE THROUGH THIS TUESDAY. THE BEST THREAT FOR ANY STRONG AND SEVERE STORMS IS GOING TO COME INTO THE AFTERNOON THROUGH ABOUT THE EARLY EVENING TIME FRAME. THERE’S THAT HIGH OF 85, A SOUTHWEST WIND 10 TO 20. SO WE’VE GOT WIND ENERGY, WE’VE GOT WARMTH, WE’VE GOT HUMIDITY. THAT’S WHY IT’S A SEVERE ALERT DAY. THE SEVERE THREAT IN ORANGE FOR A LARGE PORTION OF THE WLKY REGION EQUATES TO AN ENHANCED RISK. THAT’S LEVEL THREE OUT OF FIVE ON THE SCALE. AND I’M GOING TO BE MOST CONCERNED IN THE TIME FRAME FROM ABOUT 1:00 THIS AFTERNOON. SO EARLY AFTERNOON THROUGH THE FIRST PART OF THE EVENING UNTIL A LITTLE BIT AFTER SUNSET AROUND 9:00. MAIN CONCERN WITH ANY STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS WILL BE DAMAGING WIND GUSTS. I ALSO THINK SOME OF THESE ARE GOING TO BE SOME HEAVY RAINMAKERS AS WELL. AND IF ANY OF THOSE HEAVY RAINMAKERS STAY IN ONE PLACE FOR TOO LONG, YOU CAN GET A QUICK INCH OR TWO OF RAIN IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. SO WE COULD SEE SOME INSTANCES OF FLASH FLOODING ACROSS THE REGION. LET ME SHOW YOU WHAT I’M LOOKING AT ON FORECAST RADAR. HERE WE ARE MIDDAY. WE START WATCHING OUT TO THE WEST AS THOSE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS BEGIN TO DEVELOP AND MARCH ON OFF TOWARDS THE EAST. BY LATE AFTERNOON. WE’RE DEFINITELY DEALING WITH SOME THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY ACROSS THE REGION. AND AGAIN, THIS IS GOING TO BE OUR MAIN THREAT FOR STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS ACROSS THE LOUISVILLE AREA. THE I-65 REGION IS IN THAT LATER PORTION OF THE AFTERNOON. NOW, AS WE GET EIGHT 9:00 INTO THE EVENING, MOST OF THAT ACTIVITY PUSHES ON OFF TO THE EAST. WE COULD HAVE A LINGERING SHOWER OVERNIGHT. BEST CHANCES FOR THAT WILL BE A LITTLE BIT MORE DOWNSTATE INTO OUR SOUTHERN COMMUNITIES, BUT AS WE HEAD INTO OUR WEDNESDAY, A MAINLY DRY START TO THE MORNING AT THE BOTTOM OF YOUR SCREEN, THERE’S SOME SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY. SOME OF THAT COMES BACK NORTH WITH THE HEATING OF THE DAY, BUT OVERALL IT WILL BE MORE WIDELY SCATTERED IN NATURE. ON OUR WEDNESDAY. NOT ANTICIPATING MUCH IN THE WAY OF ANY STRONG STORMS EITHER. BUT WE CARAY THREATS FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. IN FACT, A LIKELIHOOD ON THURSDAY THURSDAY. HIGHS THE NEXT FEW DAYS IN THE LOW 80S, BUT WE’RE DOWN TO 73 ON OAKS DAY. STILL A WIDELY SCATTERED SHOWER, MAYBE A RUMBLE OF THUNDER. STILL A POSSIBILITY. IT IS FAR FROM A WASHOUT ON YOUR FRIDAY, BUT STILL A LITTLE UNSETTLED. WE’RE DRIER BY DERBY DAY, A LITTLE COOLER IN THE UPPER 60S, AND THEN WE GET BACK
