Heightened Alert Status for Northeastern Kentucky

Although no widespread damaging thunderstorms on a regional level is expected, far northeastern Kentucky is part of a region which includes southern Ohio that has a bullish signal for severe weather Sunday.

Yesterday there was a handful of wind damage reports generally from Rowan and Fleming counties.

However, at this point, the SPC has not elevated any 'major' risk for the northeastern part of the state. But, analogs for that region do show an average ranking of 5.6. Anything ranked below a 7 means severe weather likelihood increases.

Again, just a heads up. There is a heat ridge that these storm complexes love to ride along. In addition, a front will be getting closer to the region and any leftover boundaries from early morning convection may set the stage for primarily afternoon development.
