Jackson, Kentucky – Residents should prepare for a significant warmup, with temperatures projected to climb toward record levels, reaching as high as 93 degrees by Thursday afternoon.
According to the National Weather Service , a weak cold front will bring a brief, 20% chance of a shower or thunderstorm tonight, followed by a dry start to the week. High temperatures are expected to transition from 86 to 92 degrees on Tuesday and Wednesday, before reaching the 87 to 93 degree range on Thursday.
As heat builds, individuals planning outdoor work or activities should remain hydrated during peak afternoon hours. While Monday will feature partly to mostly sunny skies with highs ranging from 78 to 86 degrees, the pattern shifts as mid week approaches. The humidity combined with these climbing temperatures will create a stretch of notably hot conditions for the region.
Monitor local weather updates as Thursday approaches to see if shower and thunderstorm chances, currently holding at 20%, increase or shift during the day.
