The National Weather Service has issued a High Wind Warning for Trigg, Caldwell, Lyon, and counties to the west until 9:00 p.m. A Tornado Watch is also in effect for the entire region until 11:00 p.m.
Forecasters say strong storms moving through the area this evening could bring heavy rain and wind gusts between 45 and 60 mph. The storm system is expected to pass through the Pennyrile region between 9 p.m. and midnight.
The line of storms could produce widespread damaging winds ranging from 60 to 70 mph, and tornadoes may develop along the storm line.
Meteorologists say the storms will likely move into the region and exit quickly, traveling at speeds between 60 and 70 mph. Because of the fast movement, the potential for flooding from heavy rain may be reduced.
After the storms pass, temperatures are expected to drop sharply into the upper 20s, with a light dusting of snow possible Monday morning.
