SOME HAIL IN SPOTS, THE HAIL, AT LEAST THE THREAT IS DIMINISHING SOMEWHAT THE DEEPER WE GO INTO THE EVENING. BUT WE’RE TALKING ABOUT THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME DAMAGING STRAIGHT LINE WINDS AND SCATTERED POCKETS ALONG THIS THUNDERSTORM SEGMENT, IF YOU WILL. IT’S MOVING EASTBOUND AT 40 TO 50 MILES AN HOUR. CAREFREE. THAT’S IN EASTERN PORTIONS OF CRAWFORD COUNTY. LINE IS PRETTY MUCH GETTING VERY CLOSE TO YOU. ON TOP OF YOU AS WE SPEAK. LEAVENWORTH ABOUT THE SAME UNION STAR, 910 ANDY VILLE, 912 GLENDEEN AND HARDINSBURG A LITTLE BEFORE 915 EASTERN DAYLIGHT TIME. SO AGAIN, IF YOU’RE IN THOSE AREAS CLOSE TO THOSE AREAS, I CALLED OUT, JUST KNOW SOME PRETTY POWERFUL WINDS COULD BE SWEEPING ACROSS YOUR COMMUNITY WITHIN THE NEXT 15 TO 30 MINUTES. ADDITIONAL STRONG STORMS TAILING BACK OFF TO THE SOUTHWEST INTO WESTERN PORTIONS OF KENTUCKY. WE’LL WATCH THOSE AS EVERYTHING MOVES EASTBOUND AT SPEED
