NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOUISVILLE KY
347 AM EDT WED AUG 5 2026
DISCUSSION
ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS RETURN TO THE FORECAST THIS
AFTERNOON MAINLY FOR AREAS ALONG AND EAST OF INTERSTATE 65. THIS IS ASSOCIATED
WITH HIGHER HUMIDITY VALUES CREEPING BACK INTO THE AREA FROM THE SOUTHEAST,
WITH MINIMUM RH VALUES NOT EXPECTED TO BE AS LOW THIS AFTERNOON AS PREVIOUS
DAYS. WHERE THE RICHER MOISTURE IS LOCATED, MIXING HEIGHTS SHOULD ALSO BE
SHALLOWER, WITH AFTERNOON VALUES GENERALLY RANGING FROM 4 TO 6K FT ACROSS THE
AREA. WINDS WILL REMAIN FAIRLY LIGHT AND VARIABLE THROUGH THE DAY TODAY. OVER
THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS, 20 TO 30% CHANCES FOR AFTERNOON AND EVENING SHOWERS
AND STORMS ARE EXPECTED, WITH TEMPERATURES WARMING INTO THE MID-TO-UPPER 80S
AND LOW 90S ACROSS THE AREA EACH AFTERNOON. BETTER RAIN CHANCES ARE EXPECTED
FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY, WITH 40 TO 60% COVERAGE EACH AFTERNOON.
