Andy Beshear said the state is continuing to respond to a severe weather system that impacted much of Western, Eastern and South Central Kentucky Saturday and is preparing for winter weather to arrive tonight. The weather event generated heavy rain, thunderstorms, tornadoes, hail and strong straight-line winds and caused flash flooding, loss of power and damage to public infrastructure and private properties. The Governor urged Kentuckians to monitor the weather as snow and freezing temperatures are forecast for many of the affected areas this evening. "We are urging Kentuckians in impacted areas to please stay off the roads as much as possible tonight," Gov. Beshear said. "Cold temperatures and the possibility of snowfall, combined with wet roads and standing water, are expected to create even more hazardous road conditions." The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet is preparing snowplow trucks and working with Kentucky Emergency Management to monitor conditions. Updates: The National Weather Service (NWS) has confirmed four tornadoes so far: Campbellsville, Taylor County, EF-1, 105-110 mph.At this time, no fatalities or injuries have been confirmed.

Possible tornado touchdowns in Green and Metcalfe counties caused damage to several homes.

Electric customer outages have been reported in Pike County, affecting 1,190 customers, and 342 customers have been affected in Floyd County.
