4/3 - Severe Weather Updates

6:50pm - The hail shafts died down right before reaching eastern Jefferson County. I think our severe weather threat is pretty much over for today. The winds were very incredible with this storm, especially when the leading wall cloud came through. We were lucky not to have any tornado problems in Louisville...

5:30 - LARGE HAIL MOVING TOWARDS LOUISVILLE. Tornadoes are being reported just north of Louisville. So far we don't have any tornado problems yet for Louisville. This hail could exceed golf ball size!

4pm
- Okay, there is a squall line developing just east of this front and is on its way to Louisville. This thing should be here within a couple of hours. It's coming together quick and it probably will have large hail. I cannot rule out the possibility of a tornado right now, especially because these nasty lines harbor them...

We are also in a SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH right now, and I think that could turn into a TORNADO WATCH with the flick of a wrist, so watch out. If a TORNADO WATCH is issued, seek shelter in a sturdy building, preferably in a basement or windowless bathroom on the first floor.
