Mainly south and east of a line from just north of Bowling Green through Lexington. These possible storms will be scattered in nature and gusty winds and heavy rain will be the primary threats. The threat increases for some on Friday afternoon. The Storm Prediction Center has parts of Kentucky in a Slight Risk Area for strong to severe storms. This is mainly for those who are north of I-64. Strong to damaging winds will be possible along with some hail. I will update later today.
