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

isolated tornado cannot be ruled out. In addition, outside of

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.
