Marginal chance for severe thunderstorms Friday

A chance for severe thunderstorms is in the forecast for Friday, mainly from the lower lakes area to middle Tennessee. 

The Storms Prediction Center puts some of the southern KY Purchase and Pennyrile under a marginal risk (level 1 out of 4) of severe thunderstorms. 

So far the severe risk looks very low to our region, with the better ingredients staying in western and middle Tennessee and southern Kentucky. 

A few thunderstorms are forecast during the Friday morning and afternoon hours, but conditions will improve from northwest to southeast during the afternoon and evening hours.
