...WIND ADVISORY IN EFFECT FROM 4 PM EDT /3 PM CDT/ THIS
AFTERNOON TO 8 PM EDT /7 PM CDT/ TUESDAY...

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN LOUISVILLE HAS ISSUED A WIND
ADVISORY...WHICH IS IN EFFECT FROM 4 PM EDT /3 PM CDT/ THIS
AFTERNOON TO 8 PM EDT /7 PM CDT/ TUESDAY.

* WINDS...SUSTAINED WINDS AND WIND GUSTS WILL INCREASE THIS
  AFTERNOON AND CONTINUE INTO TUESDAY EVENING. SUSTAINED WINDS OF
  20 TO 30 MPH WITH GUSTS OVER 40 MPH WILL BE POSSIBLE DURING THE
  AFTERNOON HOURS MONDAY AND TUESDAY.

* IMPACTS...THE GUSTY WINDS WILL BLOW AROUND LOOSE OBJECT AND
  LEAVES AND WILL BRING DOWN SMALL TREE LIMBS. TRAVEL MAY BECOME
  DIFFICULT ON NORTH TO SOUTH ORIENTED ROADWAYS FOR HIGH PROFILE
  VEHICLES.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A WIND ADVISORY MEANS THAT SUSTAINED WINDS OF 30 TO 39 MPH OR
WIND GUSTS FROM 45 TO 57 MPH ARE EXPECTED. WINDS THIS STRONG CAN
MAKE DRIVING DIFFICULT...ESPECIALLY FOR HIGH PROFILE VEHICLES.
WEAKENED TREES MAY ALSO BE BLOWN OVER AND UNSECURED OUTDOOR
OBJECTS WILL BE BLOWN AROUND BY THE WIND. USE EXTRA CAUTION.

While the main threat is just difficulting driving and items being blown around the is a small possibility of minor power outages with this system.  You can see that from the  Weather Channel's map:

While I dont think that it will be anything wide spread or long term, the threat of brief power outages combined with the cold weather may make turning up your thermostat a good  idea just in case you were to go a small period without power.

If anything changes I'll be back to update it.
