Jackson, KY – Eastern Kentucky residents should brace for a wet stretch of weather as daily thunderstorms remain possible through Monday, especially during the afternoon and evening hours. While severe weather isn’t currently expected, localized downpours and lightning could impact travel and outdoor plans.
According to the National Weather Service in Jackson, a weak but persistent summer pattern will keep the region in a daily cycle of heat, humidity, and scattered storm development. No watches or warnings have been issued, and spotter activation is not anticipated at this time.
Tuesday: A slight chance of showers develops after 4 p.m., with patchy fog overnight. High near 83°F, calm winds.
Wednesday: Thunderstorms become more likely by afternoon. Expect a high near 85°F and low near 64°F.
Thursday–Friday: A 30% chance of storms continues both days, mostly sunny otherwise, with highs in the mid-80s.
Weekend Outlook: The pattern holds steady. Each day brings a 30% chance of afternoon storms, with temps reaching the upper 80s by Sunday.
Though no single day stands out for widespread impact, this extended period of pop-up storms could lead to brief flooding in low-lying areas and delays for outdoor events. Residents should keep an eye on hourly forecasts and have backup plans ready through early next week.
