Twenty-nine years ago today an F-4 tornado crossed through our communities causing more than $100,000,000 in damage. Miraculously no one was killed and only 10 people were hurt by this tornado that was on the ground for 30 miles. At its widest it was half a mile wide! On May 28, 1996, a tornado's formed in Jefferson Memorial Forest, going on a 30-mile path of destruction through Bullitt and Spencer counties.

Now that the morning line of storms is moving its way on out, let's dive into the data together to see what this second wave has in store for this afternoon and evening. First, you'll see some data has us drying off through early afternoon, which we can confirm the data is doing well in that department. The question from there is, when/do we get any clearing and will it be for long enough to make our atmosphere unstable enough for severe weather?
