The warning sounds pretty grim. Decently populated area around London plus it's crossing the interstate.

Tornado on the ground just blew through Somerset and is going to pass about a county north of me. It is a confirmed large and extremely dangerous tornado per the warning. It's in @Kentucky backyard. Hope he's okay.
-
The watch graphic says 80mph wind and 2 inch hail possible. I could definitely do without either of those.
-
These straight line severe winds events are the worst severe scenario here as a rule. MRX noted they are often more damaging than the tornadoes that hit the area. They are definitely on a larger scale.
-
I keep seeing on social media that our region is in a significant risk area on Friday. But I don't know as much about severe as you guys. So not sure if it's true. This is one of several I've seen on there.
-
This rain streamer is like a tropical storm band. Street flooding in the area from it.
-
Been getting rocked this evening. Had some quarter sized hail earlier and another storm underway now.
-
Last year it was in the mid 80s around this timeframe. In 2023 we had highs in the upper 50s and lows in the lower 30s the first week of May. It varies wildly at times this time of year.
-
It's not much warmer at just after 1pm today.
-
45 and steady moderate rain this morning. We get a few May days like this every year or two.
-
Man, low 50s and rain feels like winter out there after 80 and muggy before the storms yesterday.
-
Very strong winds in this severe warning right now, oddly, not much thunder. Just heavy rain and strong wind with an occasional rumble.
-
It's been like Southeast Asia here this week. Huge drops and very heavy rain at times. There was street flooding Tuesday during a heavy, huge drops shower that blew in sideways.
-
Lots of rain in the forecast. We'll see if it actually comes to pass. Wildfires are still an issue in the area.
-
It's that time of year where I'm tempted to plant something but I know better. It was 29 one morning this week and 30 yesterday morning. These weekend 80s will have me ready for tomatoes to go in but I know as soon as I do we'll get a first week of May freeze.
-
85 to this is quite a system shock.
-
It's ridiculously warm. 71 at 2am, Oak Ridge is 77 with a heat index of 79, talk about summer hitting immediately.
-
I wish it was a little more SEC dominant but Houston is darn good. Yes, half the region is going to flood and the other half will possibly be dodging fires. I worry more about fires than anything else, my house is 30 feet from the edge of over 100k acres of unbroken forest. I've had two fires get close in the last 20 years. One had fire fighters in my backyard raking leaves in the woods and cutting stumps off on the ridge side to shovel dirt into them.
-
Huge dislike for this stalled front. I've no interest in seeing highs in the mid to upper 80s in early April. The fires have already been ridiculous in the area and they will be primed again with 3 or 4 days of strong winds and hot weather.
-
32 this morning and the dense air has pushed the smoke from a controlled burn near my house down to the ground. It's like I'm in a thick thick fog.
-
Another pretty good snow shower about 15 minutes ago. They only last 5 to 10 minutes. 35 degrees.
-
Had a decent snow shower a bit ago. Temp is 37.
-
Temp has fallen to 40 and have had a little bit of rain/snow mix.
