Good Morning!

A HUGE storm system will continue to affect the Bluegrass with high winds, colder temperatures and a few snow showers. 

A cold front will push through Central Kentucky by 9 am and then behind it the winds will become sustained at 25-35 mph and gusts up to 60 mph.  Winds at that magnitude could really cause some problems later today so a HIGH WIND WARNING is up until 7 pm in CKY and 10 pm in EKY.  Make sure you secure Christmas decorations, pull trashcans back off the street, secure lawn furniture, and when driving a high-profile vehicle, make sure keep both hands on the wheel and go slow.  You could easily be blown off the road or into another lane. Also, power outages are a concern because with the heavy rain overnight the ground is saturated and soil will be weakened. That could cause trees to topple over and land on power lines. 

Besides the high winds, a few snow showers and much colder air will move in later today. Afternoon temps will cool in the low to mid 30s and then overnight lows in the teens.  Artic high pressure moves in on Thursday clearing out our skies but keeping us cold. 

Today: Overcast with a few light rain and snow showers the afternoon. Afternoon temperatures in the 30s.  HIGH WIND WARNING UNTIL THIS EVENING. Winds out of the west at 25-35 mph with wind gusts up to 60 mph. Rain chance 30%.

Tonight: Mostly cloudy and cold. Low 19. Winds will relax a bit out of the west at 10-25 mph with gusts up to 30 mph.

Tomorrow: Mostly sunny and cold with wind chills in the teens.  High 29. Winds out of the west at 5-10 mph.
