NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOUISVILLE KY
506 AM EDT THU SEP 3 2026
DISCUSSION
TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO PEAK TODAY ASSOCIATED WITH THE
ONGOING HEATWAVE. HIGHS WILL BE IN THE UPPER 90S WITH EVEN A FEW LOCATIONS
BREAKING THE CENTRURY MARK. HEAT INDEX VALUES WILL BE ABOVE 100 AND UP TO
107 DEGREES. WHILE WE EXPECT TO BE MAINLY DRY, THERE IS A SLIGHT CHANCE,
LESS THAN 20 PERCENT, THAT WE SEE A FEW ISOLATED SHOWER OR STORMS IN THE
AFTERNOON. MOSTLY SOUTH OF THE PARKWAYS. ANY STORM WILL BE BRIEF.
MIN RH VALUES WILL BE AROUND 35-40 PERCENT AND WE COULD SEE MIXING IN
THE AFTERNOON THAT WOULD CREATE SOME VARIABLE WINDS AND EVEN GUST TO AROUND
15-20 MPH.
RAIN CHANCES WILL START TO INCREASE AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT FRIDAY
INTO SATURDAY WITH SLIGHTLY COOLER TEMPERATURES.
