12:12a - General weakening trend continues. Could there be a pocket of some brief heavier gusts? Sure. Will we get some rain we so desperately need? Absolutely.

I think this trend holds through the overnight, tbh

wxornotBG @wxornotbg.com · 1h

11:57p - Most favorable corridor for strong wind gusts will push out of Butler County shortly. Many of you will see some rain and wind gusts perhaps up to 30mph, but seems just not enough fuel for a more widespread threat.

wxornotBG @wxornotbg.com · 2h

11:42p - Storms starting to lose a bit of punch as they move east now. Most favorable corridor for strong winds right now looks to be up through Central Butler County.

wxornotBG @wxornotbg.com · 2h

11:23p - Most favorable area to see wind gusts try to sneak up to severe limits (58+ MPH) looks to be northwestern Logan and into southern Butler Counties

wxornotBG @wxornotbg.com · 2h

11:14p - Statement now out for Butler and Logan Counties as this line segment approaches. Winds up to 55mph possible. Wouldn’t be shocked to see a severe T’storm warning come out either.

wxornotBG @wxornotbg.com · 2h

10:55p - Storms deciding to get a touch friskier as they approach our western border. Severe T’storm Warnings just west for some 60mph gusts. Keeping an eye as these march toward Logan Co.

wxornotBG @wxornotbg.com · 4h

8:49p - Strong storms continue to close in on the region from the west. NWS notes potential for these to produce 40 mph winds.

wxornotBG @wxornotbg.com · 6h

Line of storms currently not-very- impressive as it enters far west KY. Still gonna be hella-windy.

Will continue to monitor/track/babysit/watch/patrol/warden/etc. radar.

A Wind Advisory is out for the entirety of WABBLES beginning at midnight, lasting thru 8am Sunday.

Wind gusts of up to 40-50 mph will be possible during this time.

As always, stay locked-in to our outlets for any updates. Tonight, should any severe weather threaten the area, we'll be LIVE, per usual.

wxornotBG @wxornotbg.com · 18h

So enjoy today’s fake summer while it lasts, because by Sunday afternoon, you’ll be sipping coffee in a blanket fortress wondering how we went from beach vibes to “bring me soup” in less than 12 hours.

wxornotBG @wxornotbg.com · 18h

Scattered showers will linger, because why not make it extra gloomy while you question your life choices in shorts and a hoodie?

wxornotBG @wxornotbg.com · 18h

Behind the front? Game over, summer. Highs for Sunday happen in the early morning — and then it’s freefall. By mid-afternoon, temps will tumble through the 40s, thanks to northwest winds howling at 30 to 40+ mph, basically blowing all your porch furniture and inflatable Halloween decor to Tennessee.

wxornotBG @wxornotbg.com · 18h

Think: a typical fall setup — all muscle, not much caffeine. The atmosphere’s got the powerful dynamics, but a lack of high-octane fuel (instability), so we’re mainly looking at damaging winds and maybe a rogue spin-up tornado or two trying to photobomb the radar.

wxornotBG @wxornotbg.com · 18h

Then comes tonight’s main event: a vigorous cold front that appears to have been hitting the gym. It’ll charge east through the region late tonight into the predawn hours of Sunday, bringing a round of potential strong to severe storms.

wxornotBG @wxornotbg.com · 18h

Today’s looking rather toasty for mid-October, with brisk, southerly winds doing their best impression of a hair dryer set to “medium.” Highs will cruise into the upper 80s — which is basically summer’s last desperate attempt to stay relevant.

wxornotBG @wxornotbg.com · 18h

Alright WABBLES… buckle up, because Mother Nature’s about to slam the weather rollercoaster throttle to the floor!

wxornotBG @wxornotbg.com · 1d

Clouds on the increase tonight, but still a nice night for some Friday night lights.

wxornotBG @wxornotbg.com · 1d

Latest thinking on our weekend severe threat as of the latest SPC outlook. No big changes. Pockets of damaging winds, maybe a brief tornado spin-up in the line. Cold gusts once the storms pass will be an issue tomorrow too.

wxornotBG @wxornotbg.com · 1d

⛅️ Clouds on the increase today ahead of a vigorous cold front. Filtered sunshine will join warm temps.

🌡️ Now 48˚ / High 80˚

⚠️ Strong/severe storms remain possible along and ahead of the passing cold front late Saturday night into Sunday morning. Stay weather aware:

wxornotBG @wxornotbg.com · 1d

We've got a dynamic system headed our way as we make our way into the weekend, promising showers, thunderstorms, and gusty, gusty winds.

Not a situation where tornadoes are a huge concern, but even in a big line of storms, a brief, "spin-up" tornado cannot be ruled out. Any tornado that develops would be on the brief and weaker side, but those can absolutely still do damage. It's why we say tornado threat is low but never zero.

wxornotBG @wxornotbg.com · 2d

Here's the latest thinking on this weekend's strong storm threat. It's our first one of these in awhile, but nothing too uncommon as of now. Best chance for severe weather will be Saturday afternoon west of here, but some isolated damaging wind gusts may be possible if storms hold together Sat. PM.
