Wind chill advisory: Air feels like -30 degrees in some areas - WLKY Louisville

AFTERNOON. I’M ALEX DURHAM JUST DAYS BEFORE THE HOLIDAY. WE’RE DEALING WITH A WINTER STORM. THE SNOW IS STOPPED, BUT THE BELOW ZERO TEMPERATURES ARE STILL WITH US. WE HAVE MO ROSE. SHE’S GIVEN US THE FORECAST LAST AND IT’S NOT GOING TO WARM UP MUCH. THERE’S MESSY ROADS. MERRY CHRISTMAS EVE. EVE, CHRISTMAS EVE. IF YOU COME ON, THIS WEATHER COULD NOT HAVE COME AT A WORSE TIME. AND ALSO THAT WEATHER IS CAUSING PROBLEMS. AND I KNOW EVERYONE WANTS TO DO SOME TRAVELING AROUND CHRISTMAS. YOU KNOW, A LOT OF FOLKS LIVE OUT OF TOWN. IF YOU’RE COMING IN ON 65 SOUTHBOUND, YOU’RE GOING TO HAVE A PROBLEM HERE. THIS ACCIDENT JUST CAME IN. IT’S AT HENRYVILLE AND THEY’RE GOING BE FORCING TRAFFIC OFF FROM 65 SOUTH ON THE HIGHWAY 160 BECAUSE OF AN ACCIDENT THAT HAS ALL LANES SHUT. SO ONE MORE TIME, 65 SOUTH RIGHT AROUND HENRYVILLE ALL LANES ARE BLOCKED. SO YOU’RE GOING TO NEED TAKE A DETOUR AT HIGHWAY 160. ALL RIGHT. NOW LET’S TALK ABOUT THIS WEATHER. THAT’S JUST RUINING THINGS FOR US. WE WANT TO GO OUT AND PLAY IN THE SNOW AND WE CAN’T LOOK AT THIS. WE HAVE DROP 48 DEGREES IN THE LAST 24 HOURS. THAT MEANS IT’S MEASURED OF ONE IN LOUISVILLE, BUT IT’S NOT REALLY FEELING LIKE NEGATIVE ONE. NO, NO, NO, NO, NO. IT FEELS MUCH COLDER THAN THAT. IT FEELS LIKE -22 DEGREES WHEN YOU GO OUT ON YOUR SKIN. IT IS JUST FRIGID OUT THERE. AND I WANT TO SHOW YOU THE CULPRIT. COLD FRONT THAT CAME THROUGH. IT’S PUSHING OFF TO THE EASTERN SEABOARD. IT’S LEFT US WITH THAT SNOW ABOUT 2.8 INCHES. AND WE STILL HAVE A CHANCE FOR SOME FLURRIES. ANY OF THE CLOUDS THAT STICK AROUND, WE COULD END UP WITH A COUPLE OF FLAKES OUT OF THERE, BUT NO MORE ACCUMULATION. BUT I’M TELLING YOU, IT IS DARN COLD OUT THERE. NEGATIVE FOUR AND PAISLEY NEGATIVE FOUR. AND SEE MORE IN MADISON, NEGATIVE THREE OUT OF THE CAPITAL AIRPORT AND FRANKFURT. AND YOU GOT A GOOSE EGG IN CAMPBELLSVILLE. YOU’RE COMING IN AT THE WARMEST. YOU NEVER THOUGHT ZERO WOULD BE WARM, BUT ON THIS MAP IT SURE IS TODAY. AND WE ARE ONLY GOING TO GET TO ABOUT FOUR THIS AFTERNOON. IT’S GOING TO BE A WINDY AND FRIGID DAY, BLOWING SNOW AND FLURRIES. AND LISTEN, THOSE WINDS LOOK AT WHAT WE’RE DEALING WITH ACROSS THE VIEWING AREA. WIND SPEEDS, THOSE AREN’T GUST. THESE ARE SPEEDS 43 MILES PER HOUR IN SEYMOUR. OR MAKE SURE THAT YOUR INFLATABLE ONES ARE STILL OUT IN FRONT. JEEZ, 31 IN NORTH VERNON, 19, AND MADISON DOWN IN HODGENVILLE. WE’VE GOT 31 PER HOUR WINDS, 19 IN COLUMBIA. AND YEAH, I MENTIONED THIS BEFORE AND WE’RE GOING TO DO IT AGAIN PRETTY MUCH TOMORROW. YOUR OUTDOOR TO CORE, IF IT’S STILL OUT THERE, YOU STILL MAYBE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT IT IS TIED DOWN BECAUSE IT IS SO WINDY THAT THOSE INFLATABLES MAY END UP DOWN THE STREETS. YOUR CHRISTMAS TREES, PATIO FURNITURE. IF YOU HAVE PUT YOUR GARBAGE OUT, MAKE SURE THE CANS ARE STILL THERE. WE ARE DEALING WITH A VERY WINDY DAY AND THAT WILL ALSO CONTINUE INTO TOMORROW FOR CHRISTMAS EVE. L DIAL IT BACK JUST A LITTLE BIT ON CHRISTMAS. I’M GOING TO HAVE THAT FULL CHRISTMAS WEEKEND FORECAST FOR YOU COMING UP. AND ALSO QUITE POSSIBLY THE BEST NEWS ONE WILL GET BACK TO THE FIFTH EIGHTIES. THAT’S ALL COMING UP. ALEX, 50. SOUNDS NICE AND TOASTY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MO. WE WANT TO GIVE YOU A CLOSER LOOK AT THE CONDITIONS. YOU CAN SEE IF YOU NEED TO GET OUT THE DOOR THIS AFTERNOON. SO WE DO HAVE SHAQUILLE LORD FORD. HE’S ONE OF OUR WLKY DRIVE CANS. JACK, WHERE ARE YOU RIGHT NOW AND HOW ARE THINGS LOOKING. HEY THERE, ALEX. WE ARE ON FRANKFORT AVENUE IN THE CLIFTON AREA, AND I GOT TO BE HONEST WITH YOU, AS WE WERE, AS WE’VE BEEN DRIVING THROUGH THE ENTIRE AREA THIS MORNING, REALLY, ESPECIALLY THE PAST HOUR, IT’S BEEN A GHOST TOWN IN CERTAIN AREAS AND ESPECIALLY DOWNTOWN ON MAIN STREET. I MEAN, IT’S TRULY REMARKABLE SEEING NO CARS OUT ON THE ROADWAY. SO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS? THAT MEANS PEOPLE ARE STAYING INDOORS. OF COURSE, THERE ARE INDIVIDUALS LIKE US WHO HAVE TO WORK. BUT AGAIN, YOU KNOW, IT’S TRULY REMARKABLE SEEING THIS. PEOPLE ARE TAKING HEED TO THE WARNING. AND OF COURSE, IF YOU ALL HAVE BEEN PAYING ATTENTION TO MAYOR FISHER, WHO’S JUST ON OUR WLKY BROADCAST, HE HAS SAID SINCE 7:00 LAST NIGHT TO 11 THIS MORNING, THERE HAVE BEEN EIGHT ACCIDENTS THAT INVOLVED PEOPLE BEING INJURED, 70 ACCIDENTS WHERE PEOPLE WERE NOT INJURED AND, OF COURSE, 41 CALLED EXPOSURE. SO IF YOU CAN STAY INDOORS NOW RIGHT WHERE WE’RE AT ON FRANKFORT AVENUE, NEXT TO STORY AVENUE, YOU CAN SEE THIS ROADWAY LOOKS BASICALLY ALMOST BACK TO NORMAL. SOME OF THESE SOME OF THE SNOW, IT’S STARTING TO MELT. THAT MEANS THIS SA
