Afternoon Weather Thread
🌩️ Severe Weather Updates 🌩️
Additional comments and forecast discussion can be found in the comments.
Severe thunderstorms are possible this afternoon.
The primary concern will be 60+ mph wind gusts, small hail, frequent cloud-to-ground lightning, and torrential downpours (one to three inches per hour).
Flash flooding is a concern. Some counties have received 4 to 8.5" of rain in the past 48 hours. It would not take much to trigger additional flash flooding.
⚠️ Avoid flooded roadways. Do not let children play in flood waters.
⚠️ Campers should be weather-aware this afternoon and evening.
⚠️ Have a safe place to shelter in the event of severe weather.

Saturday's Severe Thunderstorm Outlook
Storm tracking links in the comment section.
** A low-end risk of severe weather today **
Locally heavy thunderstorms will once again be an issue today.
Scattered to numerous thunderstorms are anticipated.
The primary concern will be torrential downpours and lightning. If you have outdoor events, then monitor the weather radars and lightning data (links in the comments).
A flash flood watch blankets much of the area.
There is a risk that a few of the thunderstorms could produce damaging wind gusts. Today is similar to yesterday.
Yesterday, we had a few trees down and a funnel cloud (maybe a brief tornado).
There is a little bit of spin in the atmosphere, so I can't rule out a short-lived lower-end (EF0/EF1) tornado. The primary concern for a brief tornado is across far western KY and western TN.
Widespread severe weather is unlikely today.
Some of the storms will produce one to three inches of rain per hour.
Several locations have received over six inches of rain since Thursday afternoon!
Slow-moving thunderstorms could cause additional flash flooding today into this evening. As always, avoid flooded roadways. You don't always know what is going on underneath the water.
Storms will taper off this evening and tonight.
A few thunderstorms could linger into early Sunday morning.
BOTTOM LINE:
Monitor weather updates today and this evening. Stay weather-aware.
If warnings are issued, then move indoors.
Lightning is a concern for campers and other outdoor events.
A heat wave will develop on Sunday. That will last through much of next week. Daily highs in the 90s. Heat index values of 100-110 degrees.
Normal summer heat, but its duration may wear on some people (the elderly, young children, and those working outdoors).
Saturday, June 27, 2026
A warm and muggy day ahead of us.
We will have scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms. Some of the storms could be severe (esp this afternoon).
The primary concern will be damaging wind. A small threat of a short-lived tornado.
Storms taper off this evening and overnight.
Hot and humid on Sunday. Heat index values will be north of 100 degrees.

Good Saturday morning, everyone
We are waking to a warm and soupy airmass.
Scattered showers and thunderstorms dot the weather radars.
The graphics show you the 5 am temperatures and dew points.
June 26, 2026
Some of you will wake up tonight to thunder and lightning.
The severe weather risk tonight is minimal. Perhaps a few of the stronger storms could produce gusty winds.
The primary concern will remain torrential rain and lightning. Some locations received over six inches of rain since yesterday.
Flash flooding remains a concern.
Some of the storms on Saturday could be severe. Monitor updates.
The primary concern will likely be the afternoon thunderstorms, but I will also monitor the morning hours.
