Temporary Warming Location: Adair Co Courthouse Annex

The Adair County Courthouse Annex will be open tonight, November 11, 2019, as a temporary warming location.

Current forecasts indicate that skies will clear overnight with light winds expected. These conditions along with residual snowpack on the ground from Monday night's snows should allow temperatures to fall into the single digits in many areas Wednesday morning. While winds are expected to be light, wind chill readings of 3 to 8 above zero are expected Wednesday morning.

Director Keltner says, "If you think you do not have adequate heating consider tonight’s cold snap as a test and a warning of a potentially cold winter. When the warm days come again make every effort to be safe and warm this winter"

Schools closed due to black ice in Adair and Green

Schools are closed today, Tuesday, November 12, 2019, in Adair and Green Counties. Taylor County Public Schools are also closed (not Campbellsville Independent).

Closure is due to black ice, dangerous road conditions, because of the severe change in weather overnight.

In Adair, Superintendent Pam Stephens said in a call announcement just after 5amCT, "Good morning, students. Yes, it's only November but roll over and go back to sleep." She said the concern is that overpasses and wet spots could cause issues on the roads this morning, especially for busses. Dr. Stephens said she looks forward to seeing everyone tomorrow, and have a great, safe day.
