...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH UNTIL 8 PM EDT PARTS OF CENTRAL AND EAST

A COLD FRONT ADVANCING INTO THE LOWER OHIO VALLEY SET OFF THUNDERSTORMS
OVER MUCH OF WEST AND CENTRAL KENTUCKY DURING THE DAY. SOME PRODUCED
DAMAGING WIND...KNOCKING DOWN TREES AND POWER LINES IN A FEW PLACES.
A TORNADO WAS SPOTTED NEAR FRANKFORT...BUT LITTLE DAMAGE WAS REPORTED.

VERY WARM AND HUMID AIR AHEAD OF THE FRONT PROVIDED KEY INGREDIENTS
FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THUNDERSTORMS. AS THE FRONT MOVES THROUGH
KENTUCKY TONIGHT AND TUESDAY MORNING...MOST OF THE STATE WILL RECEIVE
SOME RAINFALL. SOME STORMS WILL GENERATE GENEROUS AMOUNTS OF RAIN.

PERSONS IN THE PATHS OF ANY THUNDERSTORMS WILL WANT TO TAKE SHELTER
UNTIL THEY PASS. DANGEROUS LIGHTNING WILL ACCOMPANY HEAVY RAIN AND
STRONG GUSTY WINDS IN THE STORMS.

COOLER AND DRuIER AIR BEHIND THE COLD FRONT WILL BRING MUCH MORE
COMFORTABLE CONDITIONS TO THE LOWER OHIO VALLEY FOR MUCH OF THE
REST OF THE WEEK. THE NEXT WARMING TREND WILL BEGIN ABOUT FRIDAY.
