12 Noon - Friday, June 4th, 2010 Rain chance increased to 50% for this afternoon/evening.
11am - Friday, June 4th, 2010
Showers popping up now on Radar...
These are all developing and moving east / northeast. I expect re-development on top of these areas with the possibility of training from Bowling Green to Lexington over the next few hours. Still looks like instability will keep rain / storm chances in our area through evening.

9am - Friday, June 4th, 2010 Relay for life tonight! I'm playing the tunes and keeping everybody up all night. We're broadcasting from 10pm (luminary service) through the rest of the night.
Weather... 30% chance of rain/storms through early evening. Where storms pop up, rain could be very heavy. Lightening will likely be a exaggerated feature of these storms, too.
I'll post updates if needed.

7am - Wednesday, May 26th, 2010 I-65 in Munfordville opened late Tuesday afternoon both ways after yesterday's two-semi-crash... not three-semi as originally reported. But... yet another semi crash is reported this morning near Upton. North and South are open, but limited to one lane... expect minor delays in that area.
Just a bit more humid this afternoon... but much like Tuesday's weather. Pop-up thunderstorms likely, with some heavy rain possible underneath those storm cells.... Rain chance is 20%.
If you are looking forward to the upcoming holiday weekend, here's the NWS weekend outlook:

8am - Tuesday, May 25th, 2010 I-65 Closed in Hart County... Between Munfordville and Bonnieville... 3 tractor trailer crash... Both directions shut down. Detour north to E-town via 31-E/Lincoln Parkway to avoid local congestion. Detour south to at least Cave City or Park City to avoid local congestion. I-65 expected to be closed at least 6 hours (as of 9am).
Warm again today... with afternoon thunderstorms firing as a result of daytime heating. These will be scattered, but can drop brief and heavy periods of rain. These storms will die out through the evening hours.
3pm - Monday, May 24th, 2010 It's another warm afternoon for us... Temps in the lower 80's according to the Mesonet network. As you can see below, the airport readings are a bit warmer... Glasgow is reporting 87 at the airport. Louisville is reporting 87/88 (Lou Int./Bmn Field). Nashville is at 88. Expect a few thunderstorms to pop up and fizzle out as we head through the next few days, perhaps even into the weekend. These will flare up with day time heating and die out in the evening hours. There's only about 20-30% chance of rain. Where these do pop up, brief heavy rain will be possible.
Enjoy the pre-summer conditions. The humidity will be very summer-like, too. It will become more humid by Tuesday afternoon.
I have no problem with the warmer/hotter weather, as long as we don't dry up and get "Africa" hot.

2pm - Wednesday, May 19th, 2010 Sun is having a hard time finding it's way through this afternoon. It doesn't look like we'll hit that 70 mark, either. High's have been trimmed back across much of Central and East Kentucky with cloud cover. Western portions of the area may see some shower activity mid day on Thursday, but most of the area will see rain Thursday night into Friday. There is strong/severe potential with this late week wave. Heavy rains are also listed as a concern from the NWS discussion from this afternoon: BETTER
CHANCES OF PRECIPITATION LOOK TO IMPACT THE REGION THURSDAY
7am - Wednesday, May 19th, 2010 A nice day for us.... little sun with clouds and no rain. Expect today and early tomorrow to feel great. Temps today will be near 70... PERFECT!
4pm - Monday, May 17th, 2010 SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 179 IS IN EFFECT UNTIL 800 PM CENTRAL (Areas in pink)
Some heavy rain is contained in these storms. Hail was reported up to 1.25" in Meade County as the cell which is now in Hardin County moved through about a half hour ago.
It is likely to see these storms "pop" up all around the area over the next several hours.
12 Noon - Friday, May 14th, 2010 A Severe Thunderstorm Watch is now in effect until 7pm:
Tornado Warning For Christian and Todd Counties. Thunderstorms are popping to our south and really showing a lot of hail. Multiple reports of 2" hail SE of Clarksville, TN.

3pm - Tuesday, May 11th, 2010 Edmonton Water District's Boil Water Advisory Is Now LIFTED. The water district notified 991 News that all testing is complete and all residents can discontinue boiling water. There are NO BOIL WATER ADVISORIES in effect in our area at this time.
10am - Saturday, May 8th, 2010 No severe weather locally overnight, though E-town, Louisville, Frankfort and Lexington received a lot of rain with overnight storms. The front pushed through very quickly and is now well off to the east.
A beautiful weekend is in store for us, though it will be a bit cooler. We've been used to 80's weather for several days while today we get only into the lower 60's. Mid 60's for Sunday.
Rain chances have been pushed back into late Monday. We expect the approaching low pressure system to be the catalyst for the next several days of weather beginning late Monday into Tuesday. Rain and thunderstorm changes are in the forecast through at least Thursday. Temps will rebound to the upper 70's through the period as well.

1pm - Thursday, May 6th, 2010 The outlook for Hart County's Relay for life on Friday night is for a 50% chance of rain. A cold front will trigger showers and thunderstorms late in the evening and into early Saturday morning. Some of these storms could drop brief heavy rains and be severe in nature with respect to wind and hail potential. Friday's forecast will pinpoint the time frame for the best chance of rain overnight. These storms could re-impact some flooded areas. However, these particular rains should not be a prolonged event. Clearing should occur and leave us with sunny but much cooler conditions for Saturday.
Late Sunday, a low pressure system and a northward pushing warm front will likely trigger more rains across our region. This system may bring rains from Sunday night through late Tuesday / early Wednesday. We don't believe this will be any sort of repeat of last weekend.
A more solid forecast regarding next weeks system will evolve over the next 48 hours. With the current flooding condition, please remain aware of the rain potential.
Thanks to Robin for an updated pic of the washout of the Edmonton City Lake's dam.

7:30am - Thursday, May 6th, 2010 Metcalfe County's Sulfur Well precinct voters will be casting ballots in a different location following heavy rains and flooding that have heavily damaged their normal polling location. On May 18th, voting for Sulfur Well precinct residents will take place at North Metcalfe Elementary Gym. Metcalfe County Clerk, Carol England says that reminders will be mailed to those who are affected by the change. She adds that anyone with questions is welcome to call her office at 432-4821.
UPDATE: Boil Water Advisory for Green River Valley Water customers is now LIFTED.
1:30pm Tuesday, May 4th, 2010 Flood waters continuing to lower in South Central Kentucky.
Keep in mind that with our region's cave and karst characteristics, some of the flooding actually began on Monday. Many sink-holes and other low lying areas began flooding on Monday as caves and the underground caverns filled and then "bubbled" up from openings in the ground. One such situation was in the Park and LeGrande areas. Highway 218 became impassible mid-day Monday as water filled up low lying land near LeGrande Elementary School. Many sink-holes close by filled from the bottom-up. I saw one bottom where water rose very rapidly and could easily be seen filling up from the "up-flow" out of the sink-hole.
Good News: Most area river measurements from the US Geological Survey indicate cresting has occurred. Green River in Munfordville missed the 57 feet record measurement by about 3 feet, with the river cresting at 54 feet. Greensburg and Brownsville also indicate lowering levels now. Green River levels are important indicators of the general region's water shed because Barren River, Nolin River and many others are tributaries of the system.
With river levels falling, water away from the river can also recede back into the underground water channels which also enter the mighty and swollen Green.
UPDATE: As of 1pm, 1 of 2 kayakers were still missing after putting in at Munfordville. The search continues. The last known location of the missing man (who is from Hardin County) was about 4 miles down-stream of Munfordville.
UPDATE: We've received numerous inquiries about the structural integrity of Green River Bridge (31W) at Munfordville. Sources we have checked with say that to their knowledge, plans to close the bridge are UNSUBSTANTIATED. There are NO PLANS (that we are aware of) to close the bridge at this time and within the hour of this post, Hart County Judge Executive Terry Martin told our source that the bridge is in fine shape.

4:30pm - Sunday, May 2nd, 2010 Flooding of historic magnitude in Edmonton... non essential traffic is banned in city and county. All roads into the city are either blocked by water or monitored by authorities.
Due to flooding issues, there will be no School in Metcalfe County on Monday, May 3rd.
Mayor Howard Garrett says National Guard is mobilized and in the city and county. Shelters are set up at Edmonton Worship Center and America Red Cross in conjunction with Bowling Park are set up at the Metcalfe County Extension office for those who can not get to their homes.
Dam on City Lake remains a volatile situation. Rain has subsided a bit, but there is still a lot of water that must get out of the lake.
Portions of the city and county are without water service. Eastern side of town seems to be ok, while western side is without service.

12:13pm - Sunday, May 2nd, 2010 BULLETIN -
EAS ACTIVATION REQUESTED
10am - Sunday, May 2nd, 2010 Tornado warnings have moved out of area. Flooding has closed many roads in the area. Communities near creeks and other low lying/flood prone areas are in danger. Remember, Turn Around... Don't Drown. It only takes a few inches of water to sweep a vehicle away. We've been given reports of stranded motorist rescues at several places throughout our region. Evacuations are ordered for SOME RESIDENTS near Bonnieville, according to one of our listeners tips/comments.

1am - Saturday, May 1st, 2010 Before the weather, I wish everyone good luck with their Kentucky Derby picks! I think I'm going with "Discreetly Mine" at 30:1 the last time I checked the odds. It does appear that things will be quite messy by post time for that particular race. Coverage of the 136th running of the Kentucky Derby begins on NBC Television at 5 PM ET / 4 PM CT, with post time set at approx. 6:15 PM. ET / 5:15 PM CT. WAVE 3 TV will have coverage for most of the day.
The Weather System that is expected to affect our region on Saturday and Sunday is creating all kinds of warnings just to the west, in Southern Illinois and Missouri. A LOT of flooding is taking place. (Map Time 1 AM, 5/1/2010)
Extreme amounts of rain are still our primary local concerns at this point. Flooding is likely, with most all of So-Central Kentucky expected to receive at least 2-4 inches of rain by the end of the weekend. Localized areas could get 5+ inches of rain. Rain will begin (west) early on Saturday and advance east as the associated cold front slows and stalls. This is the reason we expect a prolonged period of rain. As the front begins to push through on Sunday, Strong/severe thunderstorms and isolated tornado activity may be possible. The best time frame for that looks to be late morning / mid-day / early afternoon on Sunday. Showers are also expected to hang around into the first part of next week after the front pushes through.

11am - Friday, April 30th, 2010 A strong weather system is expected to drop a lot of rain on the region through the weekend. The Kentucky Derby outlook looks very sloppy. Windy conditions are also expected this afternoon. Weekend storms may become severe late Sunday Morning / Mid-Day.

1pm - Thursday, April 29th, 2010 Expecting a wet Derby Weekend.... Bring your wetsuit if you're having a party!!! Just saw new data that suggests that total precip through end of the weekend may total 5 inches in our area and to the south down into Central/Southern Tennessee. Concern at this time still seems to be more on rain totals than possible severe storms/tornados... not that those events are out of the question. It's just that rain will be a more widespread issue.

8am - Thursday, April 29th, 2010 A stormy... and certainly very rainy... weekend is ahead. It's likely that parts of South-Central Kentucky will get at least 3 inches of rain through the period. Ground that is already saturated from this past weekend will certainly make flooding more likely. Severe weather is also a possibility for late Saturday into Sunday.
Forecast should become more solid for a timeline during the next 24 hours.

10:30am - Saturday, April 24th, 2010 SPC has upped the probabilities of severe weather for this afternoon and tonight. It looks more likely that we could see several tornados produced by this system... the wind shear conditions are going to be favorable for super-cell development. I fully expect to get a watch issued for our region very shortly.
Here re the SPC's estimates:
Tornado Probability:
Hail Probability:
Damaging Wind Probability:
Please be aware of conditions this afternoon. When we see tornado victims on the news, it seems like so many of them are always taken by surprise. While noone can stop these storms, we could all do a better job of being prepared to protect our lives and property.

9pm - Friday, April 23rd, 2010 Here's a heads up on severe potential for Saturday. We are on the northern edge of a Moderate Risk for severe storms / tornadic activity. Our main threat will be mid-day through evening. Please note that Bowling Green's NWS radio broadcast transmitter is down, so if you get warnings on your weather alert radio from that location, please check it and set it for the Horse Cave or Campbellsville locations for the weekend. Test them after you reset your station. A Tornado Watch is already in effect for far West Kentucky.
I will be on the air if local watches or warnings are posted. Also... please note that when weather starts poppin' it is very difficult to post here on the website, so I will be posting short and concise info on my Facebook Page... Send me a friend request!!!
