Recent model runs have trended the heavy rainfall axis noticeably northward. This now puts the heavy rainfall axis just south of the Ohio River across western and northern Kentucky.
From our perspective, the severe weather threat remains low, but not zero.
Severe thunderstorms are possible later tonight into Thursday morning, with the highest risk occurring from pre-dawn to mid-morning. Damaging winds and isolated tornadoes are possible. While some strong storms could develop earlier in the evening, the main concern is overnight.
To help alleviate the anxiety of our Bowling Green/Warren County residents, our office will be shifting our monthly COWS testing to a quarterly schedule. As a reminder, our system undergoes testing twice daily, and our staff is ready to respond and address any issues promptly.
