2/5 - 4pm - SEVERE OUTBREAK BEGINS, HIGH RISK POSSIBLE

Here we go folks, sleepless night for all of us. Storms will start 11pm - 12am, with damaging winds and tornadoes expected. At the present moment we're under a MODERATE risk for severe weather, but John Belski at WAVE just got off a NWS conference call and said that they were considering upgrading the Louisville area to a HIGH risk. This type of risk is issued only a few times a year in the entire US, so obviously this will be a severe weather outbreak of epic proportions.

Everyone needs to keep their weather radios on alarm mode tonight. This outbreak is occurring when most are asleep, which makes the prospect for fatalities an awful one. If you need to, find a place to sleep in your basement if you have one. I can almost guarantee there will be dozens of tornado warnings tonight around our area. This outbreak will certainly outdo the one we had last week.

I'll post when anything is issued. STAY ALERT!
