Jackson, KY — As students across Kentucky prepare to head back to school, the weather forecast is signaling a need for umbrellas and rain gear. The outskirts of Debby’s remnants are expected to bring scattered showers to the region throughout the week, with the greatest chances of rain occurring further east.
According to the National Weather Service in Jackson, scattered afternoon showers are anticipated on Thursday, with temperatures reaching a high of 90°F and a low of 69°F. On Friday, the weather is expected to cool slightly, with temperatures peaking at 87°F and dropping to 58°F at night.

The impact of Debby’s remains will primarily be felt in far eastern Kentucky, where rain chances are expected to persist through Friday. As the system moves out of the area over the weekend, temperatures will begin to drop, providing some relief from the heat. The forecast for Saturday and Sunday shows clearer skies with highs in the low 80s and lows dipping into the upper 50s to low 60s.
Residents are advised to stay updated on the latest weather developments, especially if they are in areas with higher rain chances. Those traveling to or from school should plan accordingly, as patchy fog and wet conditions could affect visibility and road safety.
