The University of Kentucky Men's Basketball team has now been put on a 48-hour pause, including the cancellation of Saturday's contest against Texas.

The announcement comes after a number of people close to the team tested positive for COVID-19.

This is the first cancellation of the season for the Wildcats.

UK ticket holders will receive an email later, about any additional changes to the team's schedule.

The program has yet to determine if there will be any make-up dates for this weekend's contest.

Conditions are dry, but chilly. Winds have strengthened out of the north making it feel bitterly cold. As we head into the overnight hours temperatures will fall into the mid 20s. As winds stay gusty out of the north it will make it feel more like the teens Sunday morning under clear skies. The majority of the Tri-State will remain dry come Sunday afternoon. There is a slim chance that some of our communities across the far southern reaches of the Tri-State could see some light snowfall early in the afternoon, but it's looking like it will stay south and east of the Tri-State. We'll climb to a high temperature of 38° with sunny and breezy conditions. Gusts out of the north could reach 25-30 MPH.
