Louisville, Kentucky – A stretch of muggy, stormy weather is settling in across Kentucky, with scattered thunderstorms and heavy rainfall expected through Saturday evening. Areas including Louisville, Lexington, Bowling Green, and surrounding counties could see isolated downpours, gusty winds, and patchy morning fog, making for challenging travel and outdoor plans.
According to the National Weather Service in Louisville, a warm and humid air mass will remain over the state, fueling daily rounds of afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms. The most intense storms may bring dangerous lightning and heavy rainfall—especially Thursday through Saturday—pushing high temperatures into the upper 80s and low 90s.
Central Kentucky cities like Frankfort, Elizabethtown, and Danville can expect muggy days with hit-or-miss storms after 2 p.m., while Bowling Green may see lingering showers and patchy fog early Thursday. Localized flooding is possible on highways such as I-65 and I-64 during downpours, so drivers are urged to slow down and avoid water-covered roads.
Residents should keep phones charged for weather alerts and secure outdoor items. If thunder roars, head indoors—lightning strikes will be a threat with any storm this week.
Storm chances remain elevated through Saturday night, with more advisories possible if rainfall intensifies. Stay tuned for updates as Kentucky’s summer weather pattern continues.
