gusts in excess of 80MPH. Here is a weather outlook for extreme southwest
Kentucky, which is where the heart of the storms are now. Further north, a
winter storm warning is in effect for parts of northern Missouri, Iowa,
Illinois and Wisconsin for up to 15 inches of snow, most areas will see
anywhere from 6-12 inches.
