349 PM EDT Fri Mar 31 2023

   WIND ADVISORY IN EFFECT FROM 8 PM THIS EVENING TO 6 PM EDT
SATURDAY  

This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for a portion of eastern Kentucky.

 DAY ONE  Tonight.

A strong low pressure system and fast-moving cold front will bring 
chances for thunderstorms. Some of these storms, mainly overnight, 
could produce strong to damaging wind gusts as they pass and an 
isolated tornado cannot be ruled out. In addition, outside of 
thunderstorms, gusty winds are anticipated, resulting in gusts of 35

 DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN  Saturday through Thursday.

Behind the initial cold front and as a secondary cold front
approaches on Saturday, wind gusts of 40 to 55 mph are expected, 
especially from late Saturday morning through late Saturday 
afternoon. The strongest gusts are expected in areas of more open 
terrain and on the higher ridgetops.

The threat of frost will return Saturday night into Sunday morning.

Warmer and more unsettled weather returns next week, with a renewed 
threat for thunderstorms Tuesday afternoon through Wednesday.

 SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT
