If you stepped outside today, you noticed it.

Strong winds are ushering in Kentucky's first big cold front of the year.

The National Weather Service says wind gusts of 60 miles per hour are possible tonight and that rain could transition to snow overnight.

Governor Andy Beshear is warning Kentuckians to be safe.

And he ordered all executive branch office buildings to close early today.

Now, the wind could lead to widespread power outages and the wind chill could drop below zero by Sunday.

Now, that's why doctors are encouraging people to stay inside when they can.

And if you do go outside, be on the lookout for signs of hypothermia.

Early signs would be numbness or tingling in fingers and toes.

You might notice color changes that they may look more pale.

Those would be some of the early signs.

I would encourage that if you see a child with those symptoms or if they're telling you that their fingers are numb or that they have tingling in their fingers, that you go ahead and bring them inside and get them warmed up.

But I would also ask children about those symptoms because they may not offer up that information to you.

They may not know that they need to look out for those kinds of symptoms.

So ask them regularly if they're experiencing things like that.

And then certainly if they're not acting normally, if they seem a little bit confused, those will be later signs.

And it's definitely time to come in, get warm, get something warm to eat or drink.

The cold air is expected to stick around through much of next week, so bundle up.
