Westmoreland Weather
There was no precipitation in the gauge this morning but I am recording a trace because of a few sprinkles that were around yesterday. The rain stayed a few miles north of us in South Central Kentucky. The 5:30 AM temperature was 61º F, the sky was cloudy and winds were estimated to be 19-24 mph with stronger gusts.

The forecast for today is for the low in the low 40s and the high in the mid 60s with a near 100% chance of rain. A wind advisory is in effect until 6 PM CST.

The low today was 52º F and the high was 68º F. The line of storms came through Westmoreland around 1 PM, we got 0.27" of rain and part of a Bradford Pear tree blew down.
