National Weather Service

The National Weather Service branches in Jackson and Louisville say cold temperatures are expected to continue this week in central and eastern Kentucky following last week’s severe winter weather.

The National Weather Service recommends staying indoors if at all possible. Those experiencing power outages and using generators to keep warm should make sure to keep them outside and away from any ventilation systems.

The National Weather Service branches in Louisville and Jackson say Kentucky’s largest population centers and the Mountain Parkway Communities were most affected by this week’s winter storm.

Central Kentucky will be in the path of an expected heat wave moving through the midwest and northeast this week.

The National Weather Service expects the most severe storms Wednesday afternoon and evening, starting around 4 p.m. through early Thursday. Straight line wind, hail and tornadoes are all possible. Squalls are also possible starting Wednesday night.

Severe storms are expected to hit eastern Kentucky through late into the evening. They could potentially bring hail, tornadoes and flooding to the region.

High winds, tornadoes, hail and flooding are all on the table, according to the National Weather Service. The weather would be the second of two severe storms in Kentucky, in as many days.
