SUMMARY: An impact weather day is expected Friday in the WLKY region with storms becoming more likely late afternoon and evening. These storms could bring brief high wind gusts, heavy rainfall, and frequent lightning, fueled by warmth and humidity. The day starts dry with scattered showers and thunderstorms increasing by afternoon. A line of storms moving in from the west around dinner time poses the highest risk for strong winds and heavy downpours, tapering off by late evening. Weekend storm chances continue, though Sunday is expected to be drier with better outdoor weather. A drier pattern arrives Tuesday through Thursday next week.
