Hail reported in Lexington as line of storms moves across Kentucky
Lexington was pelted by hail as thunderstorms made their way across Kentucky late Tuesday night.
Residents took to social media to share photos of the storm and the hail it produced.
While some of the ice chunks appeared to be pea or marble sized, some people reported hail measuring an inch or more in diameter.
While a swath of the South was under the greatest threat for severe weather, the National Weather Service in Louisville had said Kentucky could expect some strong storms with gusty winds.
Though the weather service said the winds will hang around Wednesday, daytime hours are expected to be sunny with a high of 48 degrees.
