Brace yourself.

Looks like severe weather could once again be headed our way.

And don't let your guard down.

As meteorologist Kristy Dutton explains, this round of storms is expected to stretch over a couple of days.

With severe weather expected this week.

Many are wondering when it's going to come and what to prepare for.

Joining us now is John Gordon from the National Weather Service in Louisville.

John, what sort of threat and what's the timing of this system coming?

Hey, Kristie.

Yes, a tumultuous week.

This is the real deal, folks.

So we have a squall line coming out of Oklahoma tonight that will get towards our northwest tomorrow morning.

It will be weakening.

That's the good news.

Bad news is in the afternoon, sun heats up and percolates in the afternoon.

We're going to have isolated supercells, rotating thunderstorms that produce very large hail and isolated tornadoes, very heavy rain.

Then we wait again.

Wednesday's much worse.

Wednesday afternoon, Wednesday evening, Wednesday night, anywhere between about 2:00, Wednesday to about midnight.

I expect everything on the table, everything from hail and wind to there will be a few tornadoes in our area and very heavy rain.

And then overnight Tuesday, Wednesday night into Thursday, the squall line will pick everything up and shove it eastbound and then we'll have a threat of wind probably from about 10:00 till about three in the morning, Thursday morning, and then it's over.

Okay.

So so we have Tuesday and Wednesday to worry about.

Tuesday is we're certainly going to be on high alert, but Wednesday could be the real troublemaker, right?

Yes.

Yes.

Wednesday looks very bad.

So there's some signs that it looks similar to 2012 March 2nd.

There's definitely an indication that we have a warm front that's kind of in the same position it was 12 years ago with a cold front pushing in and a very strong piece of upper level jet energy, wind shear, jetstream rotating thunderstorms.

So we'll get up into the mid eighties.

You want this not to happen.

Pray for clouds.

We need a lot of clouds.

Tuesday, Wednesday.

That sun comes out Tuesday or especially Wednesday.

There will be storms.

They will be rotating.

They'll produce large hail.

It won't be everywhere.

But places who do get hit, it will be hit.

It will be whacked very hard.

Okay.

So in all severe weather, the possibilities on the table, including flooding and tornadoes.

What do we need to have?

We need to prepare for this.

Absolutely.

Today's the day, folks.

Make sure you have weather radio batteries that are fresh in your weather radio have more than one way to receive warnings.

Sometimes the cell towers go off the air.

This will not help you.

So have a multiple ways to receive warnings.

Know what you do if you be at home or at work or at soccer or whatever.

Have a plan today.

Know that warnings are worse than watch.

And if a warning gets issued, know where you're going to go for you and your loved ones on Friday.

Most of Kentucky's federal delegation sent President Joe Biden a letter in support of Governor Andy Bashir's request for a major disaster declaration.

Last month, severe weather caused significant damage in at least 11 Kentucky counties.

The letter says 22 Kentuckians were injured and one person died because of the storms.
