The Storm Prediction Center has a SLIGHT RISK of severe weather for our area today. For this particular case there is a 15% chance of damaging winds and damaging hail occurring within 25 miles of any point within the slight risk area. Also there is a 5% chance of a tornado occurring within 25 miles in the risk area. Two different Tornado Watches have been issued for the Ohio Valley. The first watch, for central Kentucky, is until 8pm. The second watch, for Northern Ky extending into most of Ohio is until 9pm. A major severe weather outbreak IS NOT expected today but conditions are right for strong to severe storms to form with damaging winds, large hail, and ISOLATED tornados. Meteorologist tend to want to "cry wolf" or overstate the threat of severe weather which I try not to do. So to sum it up, slight risk of severe weather today with the main threat being damaging winds but an isolated tornado is possible. We have two different watches over our area until 8pm and 9pm and if you are put under a warning be smart and take appropriate action.
