KYEM Monitoring Possible Severe Weather

The National Weather Service places Kentucky in the slight risk category for possible severe weather late this afternoon and evening as a threatening weather system continues to linger to our south. KYEM encourages everyone to continue monitoring local media for weather conditions and monitor their NOAA Weather Alert Radios for weather alerts and warnings. Kentucky officials have reported numerous trees down and scattered power outages overnight. Several homes were damaged and possibly two businesses destroyed in the community of Evarts, located in Harlan County. Also in Harlan County, Kentucky Utilities report 490 customers are still without power, down from 6,700 late last night. Bell and Whitley counties also reported numerous trees down. A Powell County man is expected to be released from the hospital today after being struck by lightning yesterday afternoon. Fulton County officials reported damage to a residence and a church. The Paducah National Weather Service will evaluate the damage today and determine if the damage was the result of a tornado.
