Louisville's radar shows reflectivity factor values as high as 50-55 dBz..no doubt thunder and lightning...but these aren't associated with bright banding...it's actually snow! Proof is the fact that I can't see past 1/8 to 1/4 of a mile into the valley behind the house. I'm in the triangle shaped county just WNW of Louisville and Georgetown, where my parent's house is, is just south of I-64 (E-W oriented highway through Louisville and Lexington) in the western part of that county. The yellows and oranges are over us now, with the red (50-55 dbz) heading this way. One station reported 3" per hour snowfall rates with lightning and thunder in this area on the 11 o'clock news. WOW!!!!!!!!! I'm gonna be up all night...again!
My luck is that the storm will hit elsewhere...
