Strong low pressure crossing the Great Lakes will swing a cold front through southern Indiana and central Kentucky Sunday evening. Scattered showers and thunderstorms will be possible during the day on Sunday, and then a line of strong to severe storms is expected to accompany the front late Sunday afternoon and early evening. Strong winds aloft suggest that strong, gusty winds will be likely with the evening storms. Strong wind shear, which is when winds at different levels of the atmosphere are from different directions and/or speeds, will be present and will lead to the possibility of tornadoes as well. As is usually the case at this time of year, the amount of instability that this system will have to work with is still in question. Right now, it appears that the instability with this system will be stronger than what we saw with the Halloween event...but the wind shear may be slightly less with this one compared to the Halloween storm. Nevertheless, severe weather looks like a good bet Sunday evening in southern Indiana and central Kentucky. Review your safety plan sometime today or tomorrow so that when the storm strikes, you will know exactly what to do. Be sure your NOAA Weather Radio is in good working order. The storms will be fast-moving so you may need to react very quickly. - National Weather Service Louisville
