The winter weather has given Louisville students a long weekend. Jefferson County Public Schools will be closed Friday. District officials made the call at 4:45 this morning. Jefferson County Catholic elementary and high schools are also closed. 

 A tornado watch is in effect until 5:00 am for Jefferson County and the surrounding area. This means the conditions could be favorable for a tornado sometime during the watch period. The National Weather Service predicts severe storms will begin around 3:00 am. Rain and strong winds are expected. 

  After Tuesday night's winter weather, all Jefferson County Public Schools are open and running on their regular schedules. District officials announced the decision early this morning.

City crews began treating the roads last night as precipitation fell.

"Warmest year ever recorded at Louisville," says the National Weather Service.
