Strong to severe thunderstorms with damaging winds, large hail, and isolated tornadoes will be possible Thursday afternoon and evening. Heavy rainfall from thunderstorms may lead to some flooding in low- lying areas. After the cold front passes, strong SW winds with gust of 40-50+ mph are expected Thursday night and into early Friday morning.

The National Weather Service in Louisville has issued a Wind Advisory, which is in effect from 8 PM EDT /7 PM CDT/ this evening to 8 AM EDT /7 AM CDT/ Friday. Gusty winds could blow around unsecured objects. Tree limbs could be blown down and a few power outages may result. A Wind Advisory means that wind gusts of over 40 mph are expected. Winds this strong can make driving difficult…especially for high profile vehicles. Use extra caution.
