Gusty showers continue today for much of central and eastern Kentucky as a potent system sweeps to our east.

As mentioned, the showers are mainly impacting central and eastern Kentucky as the upper level system drops in from the northwest. This action will be accompanied by gusty winds of 20mph or a little better as a strong northwest flow kicks in.<\/p>\n<p>The showers will become much more scattered from northwest to southeast this afternoon and evening with much better weather across the west.
