(BENTON, Ky.) – Western Kentucky residents should stay weather aware over the next several days as a multi-day stretch of hot, humid conditions gives way to rounds of strong thunderstorms, according to WCBL/WCCK Chief Meteorologist Beau Dodson.

Dodson’s Lakes Area forecast calls for thunderstorm chances  continuing through Saturday, with some storms capable of producing heavy rainfall, strong wind gusts and frequent lightning. He said residents should be prepared in case severe weather warnings are issued and cautioned that flooding is possible in areas that see the heaviest storms. Motorists are urged to avoid driving through flooded roadways.

Friday will bring a mix of clouds and a high near 90, along with a 70% chance of thunderstorms and a light south wind. Storm chances remain elevated Friday night, with cloudy skies, a 60% chance of showers and thunderstorms, and a low of 74.

Saturday should see partly sunny skies with a high of 86 and a 60% chance of showers and thunderstorms. Saturday night calls for partly cloudy skies, a continued 60% chance of showers and storms, and a low near 70.

Conditions begin to trend drier by Sunday, with partly sunny skies, a high of 85, and a 40% chance of showers and thunderstorms during the day. Sunday night should see partly cloudy skies, a 30% chance of showers and storms, and a low around 70. Winds are expected to remain light through the extended period.
