LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Jefferson County Public Schools (JCPS) has canceled all after school activities on Tuesday as a strong line of severe weather heads toward Kentucky.
In a text to parents, the district said the cancellations are due to the possibility for inclement weather.
Many parts of Kentucky and southern Indiana, including Metro Louisville, are under an enhanced risk for severe weather Tuesday.
Another line of potentially stronger storms is expected to move through the region again Wednesday afternoon, going into the evening hours, with much of Kentuckiana again under an enhanced severe weather risk.
Tornadoes, strong winds up to 70 mph, heavy rainfall, flooding and ping pong-sized hail are all likely on both days.
JCPS has not canceled after school activities and athletics on Wednesday at this time.
A tornado watch has already been issued for some parts of southern Indiana. Get the most up-to-date weather alerts here.
The storms impacting our region on Tuesday and Wednesday will have an incredible amount of "fuel," meaning if they do pop-up, they could become very strong, very quickly. What we call an "explosive" atmosphere.
