Today and Tonight
A wind advisory is in effect now until 7 pm. Wind gusts 45 to 55 mph
are anticipated today.
* TIMING... The strongest winds are expected from mid morning to
late afternoon.
* WINDS... South to southwest...sustained near 30 mph...will
gust 45 to 55 mph at times.
* IMPACTS...outdoor items not secured down will likely be tossed
around or damaged. Vehicular traffic, especially high profile
vehicles, will experience difficult driving conditions at
times. There is the potential for a few power outages. Large
tree limbs, or even a few trees, may come down due to wet
ground conditions.
Thunderstorms will redevelop during the daylight hours, and will
increase their potential for strong or severe storms moving into
the afternoon hours. The Storm Prediction Center has a slight risk
of severe storms along and east of a line extending from the
Wabash river, south through the Land Between the Lakes in western
Kentucky, with an enhanced risk just to our east. Damaging winds
is the main hazard, and a few tornadoes are possible.
