Friday marks the beginning of a series of First Alert Weather Days as storm activity increases across eastern Kentucky. The day started mostly cloudy, with light rain possible in the early afternoon. By evening, storms are expected to move into western counties and continue into the night.
The strongest storms are likely to impact western areas, with threats including damaging wind gusts, hail, and a low risk of a brief isolated tornado.
Showers could linger into early Saturday morning but should clear around sunrise. The rest of Saturday looks calm, with highs in the mid-60s and mostly sunny skies.
