Tuesday’s Severe Thunderstorm Hazards

The environment on Tuesday is favorable for storms to also produce torrential downpours, which may lead to isolated to scattered flash flooding. All of eastern Kentucky is under a Slight (Level 2/4) Risk for Excessive Rainfall. The most likely timing for storms with torrential downpours is Tuesday afternoon/evening.

The primary severe weather hazard will be damaging straight-line wind gusts from one or more lines of thunderstorms. Isolated tornadoes and hail to around quarter-sized are also possible, mainly from scattered storms ahead of the line(s).
