FORECAST
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WAVE) – More rounds of heavy rain and storms are expected throughout your Saturday.
While the severe weather risk is low today, any storm will produce very heavy rain and may quickly cause flooding. A Flood Watch continues through Sunday morning. Scattered storms linger Saturday night with a continued risk for flooding. Lows will be in the muggy 60s and 70s.
Scattered storms remain possible Sunday morning before we slowly and finally dry out into the afternoon hours. This comes as warmer air aloft pushes in from the south, pushing highs closer to 90 degrees. Clouds begin to clear Sunday night.
It will be a very warm and muggy night as lows inly drop into the 60s and 70s.
Once a ridge of high pressure takes over on Monday, it’s game over for the big-time storm chances we’ve had lately.
The heat will be the big story with only small, pop-up afternoon storm chances daily. Highs will be well into the mid 90s next week with heat index values up to 105° or even 110° at times. This is hazardous heat for those working outside or without air conditioning. Please plan how you’ll stay hydrated and where you’ll need to go to cool off when this heat hits. Get ready to sweat
