High winds, possible storms Friday night

Mike Keltner, Director of Adair Co. Emergency Management, sends word that the National Weather Service in Louisville has issued a Wind Advisory for Friday evening beginning at 7pmCT on Friday and continuing through 4pmCT on Saturday, for portions of Central Kentucky that include Adair and all surrounding counties.

Strong to severe thunderstorms are possible Friday night as a cold front moves through the region. The highest risk of severe weather will be in areas mainly west of I-65 where damaging winds and an isolated tornado or two will be possible. If the sun comes out this afternoon, severe storms are more likely, whereas more cloud cover means the threat is diminished somewhat.

Expect a period of prefrontal gradient wind gusts of 40 to 45 mph tonight.

After the cold front passes through, gusty gradient winds are expected for Saturday. Wind gusts of 40-50 mph will be possible and a few gusts of 50 mph or greater will be possible, especially across the Bluegrass region of central Kentucky.


Additional strong to severe storms are possible next week, though there remains some uncertainty in the timing.
