SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON KY
900 AM EDT WED JUL 4 2001

...SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE TODAY AND THIS EVENING OVER ALL
OF EASTERN KENTUCKY...

THE STORM PREDICTION CENTER IN NORMAN OKLAHOMA INDICATES THAT THERE
IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER ALL OF EASTERN KENTUCKY
TODAY AND INTO THIS EVENING.

A SERIES OF STORM COMPLEXES ARE EXPECTED TO MOVE THROUGH THE OHIO
VALLEY TODAY AS AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT INTERACTS WITH AN
INCREASINGLY MOIST AND UNSTABLE AIR MASS. THE FIRST BATCH OF STORMS
ARE EXPECTED TO DIE OUT OVER EASTERN KENTUCKY DURING THE MORNING.
HOWEVER...ANOTHER ORGANIZED AREA OF STORMS ARE LIKELY LATER THIS
AFTERNOON. IN ADDITION...THE HIGH MOISTURE CONTENT OF THE AIR AND
THESE SLOW MOVING THUNDERSTORM COMPLEXES WILL BRING HEAVY RAIN AND
THE POSSIBILITY OF FLOODING TO EAST KENTUCKY. THE MAIN THREAT FROM
THE STORMS WILL BE WIND DAMAGE...LARGE HAIL AND HEAVY RAIN.

STAY TUNED TO NOAA WEATHER RADIO FROM THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE OR
LOCAL MEDIA FOR THE LATEST INFORMATION ON THIS WEATHER SITUATION.
SKYWARN SPOTTER ACTIVATION MAY BE REQUESTED LATER TODAY.
