A soggy, windy night on tap
HAZARD, Ky. (WYMT) - We are tracking beneficial rain across the region tonight and Tuesday. However, we are also watching out for gusty winds. A Wind Advisory is in place for the higher elevations.
Tonight Through Tuesday Night
Rain will increase in coverage through tonight. A widespread soaking is on tap as an upper-level low moves across the region. We are not expecting any severe weather, but some heavier pockets of rain will be possible.
We are also tracking some breezy winds. For most of us, we see gusts between 20-30 mph. However, a Wind Advisory is in place from 10 p.m. through noon on Tuesday for the higher elevations in Letcher and Harlan counties. A Wind Advisory is also in place for Campbell County, Tennessee and all of our Southwest Virginia counties. In the higher elevations, we could see winds up to 50 mph at times, and this could lead to some spotty downed trees and power outages. However, we are not expecting a widespread threat. Low temperatures fall into the upper-40s and lower-50s under a cloudy sky.
Showers will linger into Tuesday, especially for the first half of the day. We remain cloudy as temperatures top out in the upper-50s and lower-60s. Again, breezy conditions are likely. We could see winds up to 30 mph at times.
Into Tuesday night, we are tracking a slow drying trend. Stray showers can not be ruled out, but the coverage will not be as widespread. Low temperatures fall into the mid-40s under a partly to mostly cloudy sky.
