The May 26, 2024 severe weather outbreak continues to hound several states. Kentucky is in line for a second round later this evening, and over night.
Chief Forecaster Daniel Wilson did an update on the Storm Alert Center’s facebook page around 5:15 this evening. You can view that video on their Facebook page.
If you hear the letters PDS in a weather watch or warning, know that means a particularly dangerous situation.
This is a high end severe weather situation, and a PDS.
All types of severe weather are on the table for over night. Your severe weather plan needs to be in place now. If you are not in a sturdy shelter, you should be looking for a place near by or where you can spend the night. A mobile home is not safe. This is a situation where you need to be in a shelter that is built to with stand 75 mph winds or greater, or tornados. Under ground is ideal.
Wilson reminds everyone this is not to scare or upset anyone, but we do need to be prepared and use common sense.
Again times can very. Storms do speed up then slow. So be on alert through out the night, not only in the time predicted for your area.
The storms coming out of Missouri and St. Louis and that way will impact our area later tonight and early hours of Monday.
Clearing skies on a severe weather day increase chances, as it warms things up. Insure you have multiple ways of receiving weather warnings, and do not depend on outdoor sirens.
There is already plenty of damage being reported in Kentucky along with other states from the first wave. Also their have been multiple deaths in multiple states yesterday and this morning from severe weather. There have also been countless injuries.
The next wave of storms is expected to be stronger, and super cells are a concern. These are breeding grounds for tornados.
Again we would like to remind you, these are predicted times.
Around 10pm CT storms possibly impacting areas such as Benton, Madison, etc.
Again very concerned about cells popping out ahead of the front.
11pm Louisville
According to future radar, it is appearing. Bowling Green can expect the storms to impact them around midnight.
South Central Kentucky is appearing to expect these storms around one in the morning.
Approximately two in the morning these storms appear to be moving out of the Lake Cumberland area.
Again, pass this on to anyone who may not be aware. Be safe, and God bless.
