A Frost and a Freeze are possible this week following a cold front that will slide through the area this afternoon and dramatically drop our temperatures. Therefore, the National Weather Service in Indianapolis has issued a freeze warning for Lawrence, Jackson and Jennings Counties. The National Weather Service in Louisville has issued a frost advisory for about half of our viewing area, mainly along and north of I-64 and along and west of I-65. This does not include Louisville at this time. However, The NWS says this advisory could be extended farther to the south and east over time, because there is some uncertainty as to how quick we will see clouds clear in those areas and if there will be enough time for widespread frost to develop.

This goes into effect tonight through early tomorrow morning. Counties included in the warning are in the image below and detailed information about each alert are also below.
