Louisville, Ky. – Scattered thunderstorms could dampen weekend plans across Kentucky as hot and humid conditions give way to stormy afternoons through Sunday.
According to the National Weather Service in Louisville, temperatures are expected to reach 90 to 95 degrees Friday under partly to mostly sunny skies. Saturday will see highs near 94, with scattered afternoon and evening storms developing, especially along the I-65 corridor and into the Bluegrass region.
Sunday brings the highest storm coverage, with numerous showers and thunderstorms expected from midday into the evening hours. Cities like Lexington, Bowling Green, and Elizabethtown may experience brief downpours, gusty winds, and frequent lightning. Temperatures will range from the upper 80s to low 90s, but high humidity will make it feel hotter.
Drivers should remain alert for wet roads and reduced visibility during storm activity. Outdoor events may face delays or cancellations, particularly Sunday. Residents are encouraged to monitor local alerts, charge mobile devices, and secure outdoor items ahead of potential winds.
The threat of storms tapers off early next week, but weekend plans should factor in potential delays and heavy rain, especially Sunday.
