Kentucky is again dealing with powerful storms.

There were some yesterday and some today with more expected tonight and early tomorrow morning.

Governor Andy Beshear says so far there are no reports of injuries.

We have some pictures of yesterday's damage from the National Weather Service.

Some of the damage was at Natural Bridge State Park.

The Weather Service says a strong microburst caused some downed trees limited to a small area.

Winds reached 80 miles per hour.

Severe weather threatens areas of the state again tonight.

We already have reports of golf ball sized hail and Grayson County tornado and flood watches remain in effect for many counties across the bluegrass.

Our meteorologist Christy Dutton has more.

The risk of severe weather continues as powerful storms move through Kentucky during the evening and overnight hours.

The storm Prediction Center has Kentucky put under different levels of risk everywhere from level one out of five to level four out of five there in western Kentucky, where we can see some very strong storms there in Western and even in southern Kentucky.

We're going to be watching for potential large hail.

We're talking golf ball sized hail.

Also damaging winds up to 75 miles an hour.

Tornado threat that is still a possibility throughout the evening and overnight.

No where you will go in your home if a tornado warning is issued for your area.

And also flooding, that could be a major problem with this, with excessive rainfall as a potential with this storm system, anywhere from 2 to 4 inches of rain could fall in the area.

So monitor those water levels.

And earlier today, I spoke with John Gordon from the National Weather Service in Louisville to give us an idea of what we should expect as we head through the evening and overnight hours.

John, what should we be prepared for as we head through the evening hours?

Hey, Kristie.

Yeah, we've already seen some powerful storms now and there's a warm front across southern Kentucky, and that's where the main focus is for the really bad stuff.

And that will be through the early evening.

And then what will happen is this main cold front will come in and we're going to have clusters of storms, heavy rain.

We've got a flood watch up across most of the state.

We've had in the past three days we've had 2 to 3 inches of rain.

We're expecting another one to as much as three inches of rain.

Flooding is likely.

It doesn't have to be.

It's in the hollers and the hills for everybody.

A wind threat.

It is up there for storms to get going.

I believe that most places will have storms tonight, have a plan of action for flooding and severe weather.

Okay.

What about tornadoes?

Is that on the table for tonight?

Yes, especially down from about south of the big parkway, especially south of the Bottom Parkway, the bottom of the state down there, those Bowling Green counties, Lake Cumberland counties.

That stuff is going to form in western Kentucky, southern Illinois and go sliding towards Knoxville.

Any place along Nashville, the Bowling Green, could be ugly this evening.

Okay.

So we're got we've got to be prepared for wind damage, for hail damage and then also tornado and flooding.

So what's the best advice for folks as we head through the evening hours and then eventually it gets dark outside at nighttime?

I have more than one way to receive your warning.

Take these warnings seriously.

It's been a very complicated week of forecasts.

The confidence of storms tonight is pretty high.

The flooding is very high threat and the tornado is on the table.

So have more than one way to say warning.

Know where you're going to go?

Know about an interior closet, a basement bathroom, whatever it might be.

Take them seriously.

Have a plan so you can live another day.

Okay.

Thank you.

We will keep our eye to the sky.

Thank you so much, John.

And thank you, John and Christi, for keeping your eyes to the sky.

Remember south central Kentucky there all the way over to the eastern part of the state along that Tennessee border.

Please stay weather aware and the rest of us to overnight make sure you have a plan of action to keep you and your loved ones safe.
