Better news!

Some big changes from earlier.  Wind gusts will be much weaker than previously expected.  Louisville area and Southern Indiana wind gusts will most likely stay in the 30-38 mph range.  No longer a serious damage threat here.

However, wind gusts up to 40-45 mph will still be likely until about 8 P.M. over southern and eastern KY.

Another change…the prospect for severe thunderstorms over southern KY has dropped to a very low level.

For the Louisville area, periods of heavy rain will move through the area for the next hour or two.  Rain will end over the area between 6 and 7 P.M.  Then cold weather moves in overnight.
