Strongest storms will stay south and west of Louisville

Thursday, March 12, 2020  4:45 P.M.

Latest radar trends and short term forecast models are strongly indicating that we’ll get plenty of rain this evening, but severe weather will not reach the Louisville area.  Severe storms are forming along the approaching cold front over western KY and dropping rapidly southeast.  That area of severe storms is heading toward central Tennessee.

Meanwhile, area of showers and non-severe thunderstorms has been expanding over  SW IN and is moving our way.  Cold front may produce some gusty winds as it passes through the Louisville area between 6:30 and 8:30 this evening.  Our biggest problem will be with heavy rain and possible areas of flash flooding.
