Definitely making sure to follow WeatherNow Kentucky tonight!
NEW:
- 15% (MODERATE) Tornado risk has been expanded into extreme West Kentucky.
- Breakdown:
10% (yellow) → Scattered tornado potential
15% (red) → More concentrated / higher-end tornado risk
Hatched (striped) areas:
Not a different percentage — it’s intensity
Means a 10%+ chance of strong tornadoes (EF2+) within 25 miles of a point
Key difference:
Solid color only → Tornadoes possible
Hatched overlay → Environment supports stronger, more damaging tornadoes, not just brief spin-ups
- Western Kentucky is now in a zone where both tornado probability AND tornado strength potential are increasing. Stay alert tonight.
