Louisville, Ky. – Louisville residents can expect one more stretch of summerlike heat this weekend before rain and thunderstorms move in early next week. Highs will climb near 92 degrees Saturday, keeping much of Kentucky hot and dry through Sunday.
According to the National Weather Service in Louisville, the extended sunny run will break Monday as showers and scattered storms develop by the afternoon. A 30 to 40 percent chance of rainfall is expected across Jefferson County and surrounding areas, with brief downpours and lightning possible.
The clear skies through Saturday will favor outdoor events and travel, though the heat index may push above 90 degrees, especially along I-65 and in urban areas. Drivers heading into Sunday night should be alert for changing road conditions, as rain could arrive before the Monday morning commute.
Residents are advised to stay hydrated during peak heat hours this weekend and prepare for wet roads and possible lightning delays to start the workweek. Storm chances continue into Tuesday and Wednesday, though coverage looks scattered.
Warnings remain limited for now, but more advisories could follow if storms strengthen early next week.
