Ky. to Stay Dry After Hurricane Sandy Hits East Coast

NASA

While the East Coast prepares for Hurricane Sandy, western Kentuckians don’t have to worry about storms on Halloween. National Weather Service Meteorologist Ryan Presley says the area will stay dry after the hurricane hits the coast. 

He says, “As the hurricane storm system goes up the East Coast, that may help to reinforce the high pressure system that is moving into our region, and it may result in a prolonged period of dry conditions. Also, at least for the initial period through the weekend, the winds will also be noticeably stronger.”

Hurricane Sandy is expected to make landfall somewhere between Washington and New York City Tuesday morning.

Whitney grew up listening to Car Talk to and from her family’s beach vacation each year, but it wasn’t until a friend introduced her to This American Life that radio really grabbed her attention. She is a recent graduate from Union University in Jackson, Tenn., where she studied journalism. When she’s not at WKMS, you can find her working on her backyard compost pile and garden, getting lost on her bicycle or crocheting one massive blanket.
