Storms are moving out of Louisville tonight
WLKY meteorologist Eric Zernich’s Sunday night forecast
NOW YOUR WLKY WEATHER WITH METEOROLOGIST ERIC ZUANICH. THE LINE OF SHOWERS AND STORMS THAT MOVED THROUGH OVER THE LAST SEVERAL HOURS DEFINITELY PACKED A PUNCH WITH THOSE VERY STRONG WIND GUSTS, POSSIBLY EVEN A FEW SPIN UP TORNADOES AND VERY INTENSE DOWNPOURS. LET’S GO. OVER THE LAST THREE HOURS AND KIND OF SHOW YOU HOW THOSE STORMS MOVE THROUGH. WITH THE WARNINGS THAT WERE ISSUED WITH IT. SO YOU CAN SEE THOSE STORMS JUST RACING ACROSS THE AREA. THE RED THOSE WERE THE TORNADO WARNINGS THAT WERE ISSUED FROM ABOUT 9 TO 11:00. AS THOSE STORMS MOVED THROUGH, ESPECIALLY JUST SOUTH OF DOWNTOWN LOUISVILLE, RIGHT ALONG 65, ALL THE WAY DOWN TOWARDS BASICALLY HARDIN COUNTY. YOU CAN SEE THOSE WARNINGS THAT WERE WITH US NOW BEGINNING TO PUSH OFF TO THE EAST. THE GOOD NEWS IS WE’RE JUST NOW LEFT WITH SOME STEADY LIGHT RAIN ACROSS MUCH OF THE REGION. WE DO STILL HAVE ONE WARNING THOUGH. DOWN TO OUR SOUTH. AS YOU GET DOWN TOWARDS HART COUNTY. THANKS TO THIS LINE OF SOME STRONG STORMS THAT IS MOVING THROUGH, AND THEY’RE NOW EXTENDING THAT WARNING OFF TO THE EAST UNTIL 1215, THAT TO NOW INCLUDE GREENE COUNTY. AS YOU GET OVER TOWARDS TAYLOR COUNTY AND DOWN TOWARDS ADAIR COUNTY FOR THIS LINE. AND RIGHT ALONG THIS LINE, THAT’S WHERE WE’RE STILL GOING TO HAVE THE POSSIBILITY FOR SOME VERY INTENSE WINDS UP TO 50, 60MPH. SO WATCH FOR THOSE HEAVY WINDS PUSHING INTO YOUR AREA AS WE GO THROUGH THE REST OF THIS EVENING, ALONG WITH THOSE INTENSE DOWNPOURS WITH THE THUNDER AND LIGHTNING. SO WE’RE STILL NOT COMPLETELY DONE WITH THE SEVERE WEATHER JUST YET. BUT FOR MUCH OF THE AREA, THINGS ARE BEGINNING TO WIND DOWN. BUT AS THAT SYSTEM MOVED THROUGH, IT DID PRODUCE NUMEROUS REPORTS. YOU CAN SEE ALL THESE DOTS SHOWING UP. THOSE ARE STORM REPORTS OF EITHER POWER LINES, TREES DOWN. WE’VE EVEN HAD A COUPLE REPORTS OF A TRAILER FLIPPED OVER OUT TOWARD THE BRANDENBURG AREA. FROM THE STRONGER STORMS THAT MOVED THROUGH, TRAPPING THE VEHICLE OR THE PERSON INSIDE THAT CAMPER. SO YES, LIKELY GOING TO ADD TO THE STORM REPORTS AS THE NIGHT GOES ON AND INTO TOMORROW, THE STORM CREWS WILL GO OUT AND SEE IF ANY TORNADOES DID FORM AS THOSE SYSTEMS ROLLED THROUGH THE AREA. HERE’S A LOOK AT SOME OF THE RAINFALL TOTALS WITH THIS. AND YOU CAN SEE MOST OF US PICKED UP ABOUT AN INCH INCH AND A HALF HERE IN JEFFERSON COUNTY. THE REAL HEAVY WINTERS WERE OVER ACROSS THE RIVER AND SOUTHERN INDIANA. AS YOU GET OUT TOWARDS SALEM, TOWARDS THE ENGLISH AREA IN THAT POCKET, THEY SAW 2 TO 3IN. WE STILL HAVE A FLASH FLOOD WARNING THAT GOES FOR ANOTHER HOUR THANKS TO THE HEAVY RAINS THAT THEY PICKED UP EARLIER OUTSIDE. STILL HAVE SOME OF THAT LIGHT. THE STEADY RAIN FALLING ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA, BUT TEMPERATURES HAVE REALLY COOLED OFF BEHIND THAT SYSTEM AS WE’RE NOW SITTING IN THE MID 50S WITH THE WINDS JUST OUT OF THE SOUTHEAST RIGHT NOW AT EIGHT MILES PER HOUR FOR THE REST OF TONIGHT, THE RAIN AND STORMS WILL BE ENDING AS WE HEAD THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT, WITH TEMPERATURES DIPPING INTO THE LOW 50S. YOUR 12 HOUR FORECAST FOR TOMORROW BASICALLY HOLDS TEMPERATURES IN THE 50S THROUGHOUT THE DAY, WE’RE GOING TO HAVE A FAIR BIT OF CLOUD COVER EARLY, BUT BY THE LATE AFTERNOON WE COULD START TO GET A LITTLE BIT OF SOME SUNSHINE BREAKING THROUGH THE CLOUDS, ESPECIALLY AS WE GET TOWARDS 4 OR 5 6:00, AND THAT COULD HELP TO WARM US UP INTO THE MID 50S FOR AFTERNOON HIGHS. BUT OVERALL IT’S GOING TO BE A COOLER DAY FOR OUR MONDAY. NOW WE’VE GOTTEN THROUGH THIS ROUND, WE’VE GOT A LOOK AHEAD TO THE NEXT ROUND OF OUR SEVERE ALERT ISSUED FOR WEDNESDAY EVENING, AS ANOTHER ROUND OF STRONG TO POSSIBLY SEVERE STORMS COULD BE MOVING INTO THE AREA. YOU CAN SEE THIS IS HATCHED IN FOR A PRETTY GOOD CHANCE OF LIKE WE SAW THIS EVENING, DAMAGING WINDS AND POSSIBLY SOME TORNADOES SO QUICKLY. KIND OF TAKING YOU THROUGH WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON LOOKS DRY, BUT THE STORMS OFF TO THE WEST WILL BEGIN TO ROLL IN TOWARDS THE EVENING AND BE WITH US AS WE HEAD THROUGH THE EARLY EVENING AND OVERNIGHT HOURS. AND YOU CAN SEE SOME VERY INTENSE BANDS WITH THAT, SO WE’LL HAVE TO WATCH THIS VERY CLOSELY AS WE GET TOWARDS WEDNESDAY EVENING. SO THAT’S THE NEXT ONE THAT YOU’RE GOING TO NEED TO KEEP IN MIND. AND THEN WE LOOK TO STAY UNSETTLED WITH MORE RAIN CHANCES AFTER THAT. SO CLOUDY AND COOL 56 TOMORROW TUESDAY IS THE PICK DAY OF THE WORKWEEK WITH SUNSHINE AND 61 WEDNESDAY SEVERE ALERT FOR THE CHANCE FOR ANOTHER ROUND OF STRONG STORMS LATE IN THE EVENING. AFTER WE GET UP TO 82, AND THEN JUST STAYING UNSETTLED WITH MORE RAIN CHANCES THURSDAY, FRIDAY, SATURDAY AND EVEN INTO SUNDAY. SO WE MIGHT HAVE TO WATCH OUT FOR SOME FLOODING POTENTIAL AS THE RAIN STICKS AROUND FOR SEVERAL DAYS. SO HEADING INTO APRIL, A VERY ACTIVE PATTERN SO WE CAN’T LET OUR GUARD DOWN YET. APRIL SHOWERS ARE DEFINITELY COMING. THAT THEY ARE. YES.
