Woke up real early this morning by a lot of vivid lightning and heavy rain.
 Sounds like the folks to my immediate SE are getting it a lot worse now.
Considering it was in the upper 30s when I went to bed, and it is early
February, it was somewhat of a surprise!

> Areas affected...southern and eastern Kentucky

> Concerning...Tornado Watch 3...

> Valid 061312Z - 061445Z

> The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 3 continues.

> SUMMARY...A threat for a few supercells capable of all severe
> weather hazards continues.

> DISCUSSION...The line of storms earlier this morning across central
> Kentucky has become less defined through time with a few more
> dominant supercells in a now broken line from east-central Kentucky
> to south-central Kentucky. The strongest of these supercells is
> moving through Jackson County as of 13Z with a somewhat tight 40
> knot vRot sampled by the KJKL WSR-88D. Instability has already
> started to wane across the region which should eventually weaken
> these storms. However, in the meantime, a tornado threat may persist
> given the presence of a mature, long-lived, rotating updraft amid
> strong low-level shear (200 to 250 m2/s2 0-1km SRH). Per
> collaboration with WFO JKL, tornado watch 3 has been expanded across
> all of eastern Kentucky to cover the threat from these ongoing
> storms.
