Eastern Kentucky's Weather Outlook

Saturday's Severe Weather Threat

Clouds will be on the increase after midnight, with a few showers threatening near I-64 towards dawn. Better rain chances will move in on Saturday, especially north of the Hal Rogers Parkway and Highway 80. The weather will then turn dry and very warm for the second half of the weekend and early next week.

The Marginal Risk has been expanded to cover most of Eastern Kentucky for the threat of strong to severe storms tomorrow. Damaging winds will be the primary threat but can't rule out an isolated instance of large hail.
