Keeping today now in a CODE RED...

Last night the storms were not as strong as were originally thought. There were some trees down in Jennings & Jefferson counties in Indiana, and trees and power lines down in Owen county Kentucky. The damage was not that widespread...

For a complete recap of yesterday's storm reports, click here.

For a complete recap of local storm reports from Sunday, click here.

Now if you thought the past 2 days of weather were exciting, then check out today's severe probabilities...

Wind threat: 30% south of I-64, 15% north of I-64



Threat of hail: 15%



These probabilities are not as impressive as yesterday, but Marc Weinberg says that today will be the day of the most widespread storms in our area. He also believes there we will be under a severe thunderstorm watch this afternoon, and that lots of counties would go under warnings. However, he also said the damage would not be widespread.

The SPC says, "EMBEDDED BOWING SEGMENTS COULD YIELD A FEW SWATHS OF DAMAGING WIND AND HAIL...WITH THE HAIL THREAT LIKELY GREATEST FROM MO INTO IL/IND/KY."

So the hail threat is greatest over our area according to the SPC...

The timing for these storms will be after 12pm. I will post all morning and afternoon as needed during this severe weather...
