BREAKING WEATHER NEWS: High Wind Warning Issued

The National Weather Service in Wilmington has issued a HIGH WIND WARNING and a WIND ADVISORY from 7 AM EST tomorrow to 1 AM EST Thursday. The warning has been issued for the following counties in the TSWW coverage area:

Ohio: Butler, Clermont, Clinton, Greene, Hamilton, Montgomery, Preble, Warren

Kentucky: Boone, Bracken, Campbell, Carroll, Gallatin, Grant, Kenton, Mason, Owen, Pendleton, Robertson

Indiana: Dearborn, Fayette, Franklin, Ohio, Ripley, Switzerland, Union, Wayne

The advisory is in effect for these counties:

Ohio: Adams, Brown, Highland, Scioto

Kentucky: Lewis

Winds of 25 to 40 miles per hour, with gusts anywhere from 50 to 60 miles per hour, will be possible across our area. These winds will be capable of property and tree damage, accidents, and power outages, and may be dangerous to your life, especially in the High Wind Warning area.

There will also be heavy rain at times tonight, as a warm front surges northward. Right now, everything is well on target as the front is headed north and the expected rain has begun. Rainfall will continue, and as I said above, will be heavy at times. The cold front that will bring tomorrow's winds should swing through early tomorrow. Temperatures will plummet, and I think I may actually be on target with how fast. I'm sticking with my idea of temperatures falling to the lower 30s by drive time, possibly as low as the upper 20s by 6 or 7 PM.

Remember that the winds will be gusty even as you wake up tomorrow morning - but get worse as the day progresses. If you drive a higher profile vehicle be ESPECIALLY careful in the High Wind Warning zone tomorrow!

I'll be in Louisville, Kentucky tomorrow afternoon, and will update via the NKYWx twitter at http://twitter.com/NKYWx throughout the day via my mobile phone. Keep an eye on that. This blog won't be updated as often tomorrow, as I may not have internet access at my location.
