Strong to Severe Thunderstorms Likely This Afternoon and Evening

Article originally published by the National Weather Service in Louisville:

This morning's storms over southern Indiana and north Central Kentucky will set the stage for stronger storms expected to develop later today.  An upper level disturbance, located over Iowa early this morning, will move to the central Illinois/Indiana border this afternoon.  At the same time, the debris clouds from storms early this morning should dissipate and allow for good heating.  Combining these ingredients with a very moist atmosphere, especially for late June, and strong to severe thunderstorms should develop. The main threats today will be damaging winds and heavy rainfall.  Secondary threats are an isolated tornado, hail, and frequent to excessive cloud to ground lightning.  The Storm Prediction Center[1] in Norman, OK has placed the area under a slight risk for severe weather.  The graphics below were produced there and show the relative risks for damaging winds, tornadoes, and large hail.
