HAZARD, Ky. (WYMT) - We are tracking scattered showers and storms on Wednesday, and some could pack a punch with heavy rain, gusty winds and small hail.

Tonight Through Wednesday Night

Most of the region looks dry tonight, but an isolated shower or two can not be ruled out. Overnight lows fall into the lower-60s under a partly cloudy sky.

On Wednesday, moisture and rain chances look to increase. It will not rain all day, but scattered showers and storms will be possible at times. A Level 1 Marginal risk of severe weather is in place for most of the mountains. We are not expecting widespread impacts, but some storms could produce gusty winds and small hail. Have the WYMT First Alert Weather app on standby, just in case. Highs top out in the upper-70s and lower-80s under a partly sunny sky.

Into Wednesday night, scattered rain chances look to linger. Temperatures only bottom out in the lower-60s under a partly to mostly cloudy sky.

Spotty Chances To End The Week ... Then Trending Drier
