Louisville, KY — Prepare for severe weather on Tuesday as heavy thunderstorms with a 90% chance of rain move into the region. The National Weather Service has increased its storm probability, forecasting potentially damaging winds, torrential rain, and localized flooding.
According to the NWS, these storms are associated with a wavering frontal boundary and could be amplified by a tropical system later in the week. Residents should expect the most intense storms on Tuesday afternoon, with temperatures reaching 83 degrees. The storm activity may lead to flash flooding, especially in low-lying areas and along major roadways such as I-65 and I-64.
Motorists are urged to avoid flooded roads and exercise caution during the Tuesday evening commute. If you must travel, consider alternative routes and check weather updates frequently. By Wednesday, conditions may slightly improve, but the area remains under a 30% chance of storms as remnants of the tropical system move through the region.
Louisville residents are encouraged to prepare emergency kits and stay updated on weather alerts throughout the week. Flood-prone areas should take extra precautions, and non-essential travel is discouraged during peak storm hours.
