A line of thunderstorms will track east across Kentucky through the afternoon and early evening hours. These storms are embedded in a dynamic environment that supports rotating updrafts, increasing the potential for a few brief tornadoes—especially in localized stronger cells.

Nearly 60 million people in the central and southern U.S. are once again under threat of severe weather Tuesday, including most of Kentucky, which just endured a tornado outbreak last Friday that claimed at least 19 lives in the state.
