Our day is starting out with heavy rain, strong storms and big time winds rolling across the Commonwealth. This is ushering in more of a winter look and feel for the next few days and may even bring some light snow in here. Down the road, we are watching a major storm system for the upcoming weekend.<\/p>\n<p>As mentioned, this morning is bumpy across the state as the line of strong to severe storms moves through. Damaging winds and local flash flooding continue to be the main players. All your storm tracking tools are at the bottom of this post.<\/p>\n<p>The rain moves out very quickly today with cold air crashing in behind it. Temps drop into the 30s with a gusty wind making it feel much colder than that. Wind chills late tonight reach the middle and upper teens&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/NAM-5.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-51803\" src=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/NAM-5.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"966\" height=\"760\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/NAM-5.png 966w, https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/NAM-5-300x236.png 300w, https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/NAM-5-768x604.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 966px) 100vw, 966px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Tuesday is a cold day with temps in the low and middle 30s.
