Louisville, Kentucky – A stretch of calm summer days will give way to stormy conditions late Sunday across Louisville and much of northern Kentucky, with scattered thunderstorms expected to persist into midweek.
According to the National Weather Service in Louisville, a 20% chance of showers begins Sunday night after 8 p.m., increasing to 40% by Monday afternoon and 50% by Tuesday. While no severe storms are forecast at this time, lightning, gusty winds, and brief downpours could impact evening plans and morning commutes from Sunday through Tuesday.
Sunny skies and highs in the low to mid-80s will continue through Saturday, offering a pleasant weekend start. However, cloud cover will increase Saturday night, leading to a higher chance of rain late Sunday. Jefferson, Oldham, and Bullitt counties could see locally heavier rainfall into early next week. Commuters should be alert to slick roads, especially during the Monday and Tuesday morning drives.
Residents are advised to monitor updates and avoid outdoor activities during thunderstorms. Now is a good time to check drainage areas and secure patio furniture ahead of potential winds.
Rain chances begin tapering off by Wednesday afternoon, with drier conditions likely by Thursday.
