Louisville, Ky. – Sunshine and classic summer heat will dominate across Louisville and central Kentucky through the weekend, with temperatures reaching the upper 80s to low 90s and plenty of blue sky for outdoor plans. Most areas can expect highs between 87° and 93° each afternoon, while nights stay mild in the upper 60s and low 70s.
According to the National Weather Service in Louisville, dry weather prevails until Monday as a light southerly breeze brings in the warmest air of August so far. Patchy dense fog may develop overnight, especially in rural areas, but should clear quickly after sunrise. Commuters in Jefferson, Oldham, and Shelby counties are advised to watch for reduced visibility early Friday.
Saturday and Sunday offer ideal conditions for parks, pools, and outdoor events across the metro and beyond. Heat will be most intense from midday through late afternoon, so stay hydrated and limit strenuous activity during peak sun. No major travel disruptions are expected, but pet owners and those spending extended time outside should use extra caution as pavement temperatures rise.
By Monday, a chance of scattered showers and thunderstorms returns to the area, signaling a shift toward wetter weather next week. Updates will be issued as new advisories are posted.
