Severe weather (4/8-4/9; 4/11)

**beamer_ball** · April 8th, 2011, 06:49 PM

Severe Thunderstorm Watch out for the area until midnight.

A couple of severe thunderstorms warning were out for D ickenson and Buchanan but those are expiring as those two storms are moving over into Tazewell and Russell Counties. There's a few more isolated showers/storms across KY drifting southeastward also. May see some more storms move across the area later.

Another shot at some severe weather tomorrow and possibly another chance for some again on Monday.

Another warning out for D ickenson County going until 12:45 a.m. I'd keep an eye on a heavy rain issue too with those storms pushing through and the training motion.

Tornado warning out for southern Lee County. Radar indicating rotation just to the southeast of Rose Hill. WJHL radar indicating possibility of golf ball size hail there and even showing possibly a winds gusting to 100 mph.

A warning indicates that rotation has been spotted, whereas a watch is more or less a look-out for "potential" rotation/tornadoes. Sometimes I've noticed the terminology thrown around loosely rather than following strictly by those guidelines, so has there actually been rotation (on radar) spotted in Wise Co.?

I heard a tornado was spotted near Norton?

If rotation is noted on radar or one has actually been spotted then a warning is issued.

Lots of rerports of hail coming in. In Lee County, mostly nickel to golf ball sized. Heard a report of tennis ball size hail doing damage in the Flatwoods area of Lee. Some wind damage mainly in the western end also.

WCYB reporting structural damage in Norton. Also said a funnell cloud was spotted in Pardee.

Tornado Watch is still in effect by the way, new storms firing up across eastern KY. Just a few at the moment but some are starting to be warned for again.
