Louisville, KY — A line of showers and thunderstorms may move across central Kentucky and southern Indiana Saturday, bringing gusty winds and small hail.
According to the National Weather Service in Louisville, storms are expected to develop ahead of a cold front moving west to east across the region during the day Saturday.
Forecasters say some storms could become strong, with gusty winds and small hail listed as the primary severe weather hazards.
The timing of the strongest storms is expected to vary across the region:
