Jackson, KY – Sunshine will dominate Sunday across Jackson and much of Eastern Kentucky, with afternoon highs near 90 degrees and heat index values climbing toward 95. Calm winds and mostly clear skies make this one of the last hot, dry summer Sundays before unsettled weather returns.
According to the National Weather Service in Jackson, patchy fog will lift by mid-morning Sunday, leaving a full day of sun. Storm chances arrive Monday afternoon, especially after 2 p.m., with the potential for heavy downpours and lightning in localized areas. The risk extends into Tuesday, when showers and thunderstorms could disrupt travel and outdoor plans through the night.
Drivers should be alert for reduced visibility in early morning fog Monday and Tuesday, and anyone with outdoor events should have a backup plan for possible afternoon storms. Afternoon heat will remain a factor, so staying hydrated and limiting strenuous activity in peak sun hours is advised.
The storm pattern may persist into midweek, with rain chances tapering slightly by Thursday. More advisories could be issued if rainfall totals or storm severity increase.
