MCCLURE ALSO. NOW YOUR WLKY WEATHER WITH CHIEF METEOROLOGIST JAY CARDOSI. OKAY, GOING BACK NOW, JUST A LITTLE BIT. SO ONCE AGAIN WE'VE GOT THAT CONFIRMED TORNADO TOUCHDOWN TORNADO DAMAGE IN HANOVER AND MADISON IN MILTON OVER TOWARDS VIVE AS WELL AS THE CARROLLTON AREA. NOT SURE IF THIS WAS ONE TORNADO OR SEVERAL TORNADOES IN THAT SUPERCELL, BUT NONETHELESS, THE ASSESSMENTS CONTINUE. THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IS OUT RIGHT NOW IN MILTON, AND THEY'RE SAYING THEY'RE HAVING A HARD TIME GETTING AROUND BECAUSE THERE'S SO MUCH DAMAGE OUT THERE, BUT THEY HAVE CONFIRMED EF1 DAMAGE. IN OTHER WORDS, WINDS UP TO. 110MPH. WE'LL KEEP YOU POSTED. NOW WE HAVE TO LOOK FORWARD. WE HAVE TO LOOK AT WHAT'S GOING ON A LITTLE BIT LATER ON TONIGHT THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT, BECAUSE A SEVERE ALERT HAS ONCE AGAIN BEEN ISSUED FOR OUR REGION. STORM CHANCES WILL MAKE A RETURN. A FEW OF THE CELLS THAT MOVE THROUGH COULD BE STRONG TO SEVERE. THE PRIMARY THREAT HAIL DAMAGE BEING WIND GUSTS. BUT AS YOU GO NORTH NORTHWEST OF THE METRO AND THESE STORMS FIRST START TO FIRE UP THERE COULD BE ENOUGH WIND ENERGY THAT WE COULD SEE A COUPLE OF ISOLATED TORNADO SPIN UPS. AGAIN, THE BEST CHANCES FOR THOSE TO THE NORTH OF THE I-64 CORRIDOR, NO DOUBT, NO MATTER WHAT, WE WILL, WILL BE HERE KEEPING YOU UP TO DATE. IT'S QUIET ACROSS THE ENTIRE REGION, BUT WE DO HAVE A TORNADO WATCH FOR PORTIONS OF THE VIEWING AREA UNTIL MIDNIGHT TONIGHT. JENNINGS, JACKSON, LAWRENCE AND ORANGE COUNTIES IN THE VIEWING AREA INCLUDED IN THIS WATCH. NOTHING SOUTH OF THERE. THE METRO OR THE COMMONWEALTH. NO WATCHES, NO WARNINGS, BUT IT IS CERTAINLY POSSIBLE. ADDITIONAL WATCHES COULD BE ISSUED FARTHER SOUTH A LITTLE BIT LATER ON. OUTSIDE RIGHT NOW. IT'S BEAUTIFUL, ISN'T IT? OH MY GOODNESS. I MEAN WE TOPPED OUT AT 82 DEGREES TODAY. WE TIED THE RECORD HIGH FOR THE DATE. WE'RE DOWN A COUPLE OF NOTCHES TO 79. HUMIDITY IS 47% A WEST SOUTHWESTERLY BREEZE ALMOST 20 MILES AN HOUR. SO HERE'S THE BIG PICTURE. AND AGAIN, I WANT YOU TO LOOK REAL CLOSE. THERE'S THAT. THERE'S THAT ONE SUPERCELL RIGHT THERE THAT CAUSED ALL THE PROBLEMS EARLIER TODAY. IT'S NOW PRETTY MUCH DEAD. BUT NONETHELESS NOW OUR FOCUS TURNS TO WHAT'S HAPPENING NORTH AND WEST AND LOOK AT ALL THE WATCHES AND EFFECT AND BLINKING ORANGE OR RED. THOSE ARE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNINGS AND ORANGE TORNADO WARNINGS IN RED. AND THIS IS THE ACTION THAT CONTINUES TO KIND OF CONGLOMERATE AND SLOWLY MOVE OFF TO THE SOUTHEAST. SO HERE'S YOUR FUTURECAST AGAIN. KEEP IN MIND THAT SEVERE ALERT, IN EFFECT LATE TONIGHT THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT 7:00. THINGS ARE QUIET. 10:00 PRETTY MUCH QUIET. BUT AFTER THAT THINGS START TO CHANGE. WE'LL START TO SEE SCATTERED STORMS MOVING INTO OUR NORTHERN COMMUNITIES. ADDITIONAL STORMS COULD FIRE ACROSS THE COMMONWEALTH, GROW UPSCALE AROUND MIDNIGHT. I THINK IN TOWN, THE WINDOW FOR SEVERE WEATHER 11:00 AT THE EARLIEST TO MAYBE 1 OR 2 AT THE LATEST. AND THEN EVERYTHING WILL GET A KICK OFF TO THE SOUTH TWO, THREE, 4 A.M. ACROSS OUR SOUTHERN COMMUNITIES AND THEN THE STORMS WILL FINALLY DIE OUT. THE SEVERE THREAT WILL BE DONE BY VERY, VERY LATE TONIGHT. YOUR DETAILED 12 HOUR FORECAST QUIET THROUGH MID TO LATE EVENING, LATE EVENING THROUGH THE EARLY OVERNIGHT. AGAIN THAT SEVERE ALERT IN EFFECT WITH A CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND STORMS, SOME WHICH COULD BE STRONG. THINGS WILL QUIET DOWN AS WE MOVE INTO AND THROUGH TOMORROW. STILL SOME LINGERING SHOWERS POSSIBLE, BUT IT WILL BE TURNING COOLER AS WE DROP FROM THE LOW 60S. LATE MORNING INTO THE 50S. IN THE AFTERNOON, AND THAT'LL TAKE US INTO THE WEEKEND. YOUR SAINT PATRICK'S DAY WEEKEND. BEAUTIFUL SATURDAY. WOW, 59 ON SAINT PATRICK'S DAY. DRY SKIES ALL WEEKEND LONG. KIND OF CHILLY AS WE USHER IN THE SPRING SEASON WITH 40S AND LOW 50S. BUT THE 60S, MAYBE NEAR 70. THEY'LL MAKE A RETURN BY NEXT THURSDAY. WE WANT THE WARM TEMPERATURES, BUT THEN WE GET THE STORMS AND WE GET THE POLLEN. SO REALLY IS LIKE THERE WAS A LOT IN THE AIR TODAY FOR SURE. TEMPERATURES AGAIN, COME ON CARDOSI GET IT S

SHOWERS AND STRONG WESTERLY WIND WILL CONTINUE SATURDAY BEFORE TAPERING OFF SUNDAY. COLD TEMPERATURES WILL PERSIST THROUGH MONDAY. (TODAY AND TONIGHT) RAIN SHOWERS CONTINUE, ALTHOUGH THE COVERAGE HAS DECREASED OVERNIGHT. IT WILL LIKELY CONTINUE TO SUPPORT THE PRECIPITATION SATURDAY MORNING, AND THERE WILL EVEN BE SOME SUNSHINE. BY SATURDAY AFTERNOON, THE COMBINATION OF SURFACE HEATING AND COLD MIDDLE LEVELS WILL LIKELY LEAD TO A FINAL ROUND OF STRONG SHOWERS AND POSSIBLE LOW-TOPPED THUNDERSTORMS. WINDS WILL SUBTLY SHIFT FROM SW TO WESTERLY BEHIND THE FRONT, AND REMAIN STRONG THROUGH THE DAY. (SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY) HIGH PRESSURE WILL QUICKLY BUILD BEHIND THE FRONT AND THE GRADIENT WILL RELAX BY SUNDAY. THERE MAY STILL BE A FEW SHOWERS, BUT THEY WILL BE LIGHTER THAN THU-SAT. WINDS WILL ALSO BE LIGHTER ON SUNDAY, BUT THERE WILL STILL BE A MODERATE WESTERLY BREEZE IN THE AFTERNOON. THE BIGGEST IMPACT WILL SHIFT FROM WIND AND RAIN TO COLD MORNING TEMPERATURES. THE LOW TEMPS ON SUNDAY AND MONDAY MORNING ARE EXPECTED TO RANGE FROM MID-30S TO LOW- 40S. A WEAK SYSTEM WILL MOVE THROUGH IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK.
