WEST KY IS IN A WIND ADVISORY FOR SUNDAY.

Sustained winds of 20 to 25mph from the south with gusts of 40 to 45 mph are likely. Loose limbs and weak trees will come down. Since the trees are weak from a stormy 08 minor and very brief power outages may be possible. Also minor damage cant be ruled out.

Monday- (Winter WX round 1) Possible 1/10 to 1/4 inch ice. Mostly rain changing to freezing rain.
Temps. warm to the 40's and 50's than an arctic front passes and any precip changes to freezing rain due to warm air overriding swallow arctic air. Models are consistent on this round

No much on this one. Arctic Front sags south again. More moisture is injected and a potenial for siginficant ice is there. A lot of uncertainity. Will watch more and have more details Monday.

Too much uncertainity for a possible freezing rain changed to rain even on Wed Night and Thursday.
