NWS Expects Severe Storms This Afternoon

The National Weather Service in Louisville, KY, has issued a strongly worded warning about the possibility of severe weather this afternoon for much of Kentucky, including Adair and surrounding counties.

A cold front is approaching our area from the west. Strong to severe thunderstorms are expected to erupt along of or ahead of the cold front this afternoon, most likely around the I-65 corridor during the early afternoon hours, between 1:00 and 3:00 p.m. CST. These storms are expected to reach south-central Kentucky most likely after 3:00 p.m. CST, and bring with them a likelihood of large hail and damaging winds. Some tornadic activity is expected, and meteorologists note the possibility of heavily damaging long-track tornadoes.

According to the NWS bulletin issued at 8:18 a.m. CST, "It cannot be stressed enough that there is a significant threat for severe and tornadic thunderstorms this afternoon and evening. Please stay abreast of the current situation..."

Hazardous weather bulletins from the NWS can be viewed at Weather.gov.
