There was a lot of damage caused by the first round of storms that passed across the Louisville Metro and its surroundings. On Sunday night, a second set of storms brought additional severe weather to the Louisville region.
Prior to anticipated heavy storms, a tornado watch was issued for the majority of the WLKY region; however, it has now expired for the Metro and points west.
By late morning or early afternoon, storms that had formed along a warm front had brought heavy rains and some warnings to the region. More storms arrived Sunday evening. In addition to the risks of flooding and lone tornadoes, the storms also carried a devastating wind threat due to their stronger dynamics.
Louisville and the surrounding area are classified as being at Enhanced Risk, the third highest level among the five potential categories by the Storm Prediction Center.
There is a flood watch in effect for almost the whole WLKY viewing area. Due to the increased frequency of thunderstorm activity over the previous few days, our southern villages are more at danger of flash floods. In some of the stronger storms on Sunday, one to three inches of rain might fall during the day and into the night. The severe threat persisted into late Sunday, and thunderstorm activity persisted into the night. There may be a few showers early on Monday.
