KENTUCKIANA’S MOST ACCURATE WEATHER
The WHAS 11 First Alert StormTeam proves forecast accuracy every day. WHAS is the only TV station to guarantee our forecast and give $50 to charity each night we get it right. Each night during 11@11 the StormTeam predicts the high temperature for the next day. Tune in to WHAS11 News at 6 p.m. to see if they got it right.
An independent firm, Weatherate, studied the forecasts of all Louisville TV stations for a year and awarded WHAS with the “most accurate” award earlier this year.
