Weather watches and warnings issued as storms roll through Kentucky

National Weather Service

The NWS said 70-mile-per-hour wind gusts, quarter-sized hail, and tornadoes are all possible while the advisory is in place. The tornado watch is expected to be active until at least 11 a.m.

Know the difference!

A tornado WATCH means tornadoes are possible in and near your area. Be ready to act fast!

A tornado WARNING means Take Action! A tornado is near. There is danger. Move to a safe location right away.

  • Find a safe room built to withstand high winds. The next best protection is a small room with no windows on the lowest level of a sturdy building.
  • Mobile, manufactured, trailer homes and recreational vehicles (RVs) are not safe in high-wind events. Plan ahead by finding a sturdy building to shelter in before a tornado watch or warning.
