Louisville, KY – Muggy nights and hot, stormy afternoons are expected to dominate Kentucky’s weather through Tuesday, with scattered showers and thunderstorms threatening travel and outdoor plans across the region.
According to the National Weather Service in Louisville, a few lingering storms may persist tonight as temperatures settle between 69 and 75 degrees. Starting Sunday, the chance for scattered showers and thunderstorms increases each afternoon and evening, with highs climbing to 94 degrees by Tuesday.
Residents in Louisville and surrounding areas—including Elizabethtown, Bardstown, and Shelbyville—should prepare for locally heavy rainfall, lightning, and gusty winds that could lead to brief road flooding or power outages. Evening storms may cause delays on I-65 and I-64, and drivers are urged to slow down on wet roads. The muggy weather will continue overnight, making it difficult for homes without air conditioning to cool off.
To stay safe, limit outdoor activities during storms, secure outdoor items, and have a flashlight ready in case of power loss. Summer storms like these are typical for July in Kentucky, but each can bring quick changes in conditions.
Storm chances remain each day through Tuesday, with more advisories possible as the week unfolds.
