The weekend holds a risk of storms...

The risk of severe is not too high for our area, but there is a slight risk (15% chance) of severe tomorrow night for southern Indiana...



...and Sunday over north and east-central Kentucky.



The type of storms we are dealing with are pulse-type storms. These storms blow up and pulse to severe limits, and then quickly die back down. That is why there is only an isolated severe weather risk...

The main risk from any severe storm will be damaging winds.

Isolated storms will be possible tomorrow afternoon, but the likelihood of storms increases over the area from northwest to southeast beginning tomorrow evening.

These shower/storms will continue through about 10am Sunday in southern Indiana, and end from northwest to southeast.

Any of these storms will produce heavy rain and dangerous lightning, and an occasional 45mph wind gust...

After these storms, a dry spell will begin!

Low humidities and middle 80's will rule for the rest of Sunday-Tuesday...

However, temperatures and humidities will increased for Wednesday-Friday, as temperatures will rise to the 90's and dewpoints into the 60's...

Again, Monday-Friday will all be dry!
