The heat index, or “feels like” temperature, could be over 100˚, so please be cautious of the heat! I recommend drinking lots of water, resting when necessary, and wearing a hat and sunscreen!

A few isolated storms will be possible this afternoon. Although the vast majority of us will stay dry, any storm that fires will intensify quickly.
For the evening, temperatures will be mild with lows in the mid-70’s under partly cloudy skies. A slight chance of showers will show up, so keep an umbrella in the car just in case. Hopefully you won’t have to use it!
Friday– Sct’d Showers and Storms; Partly Sunny – High 87˚ / Friday Night – Showers and Storms; Cloudy – Low 69˚
Friday looks to be pretty wet as scattered showers and storms develop throughout the day. A few storms could meet severe criteria. The latest outlook from the Storm Prediction Center includes a portion of south central Kentucky in a Slight Risk for severe weather Friday:
Definitely bring an umbrella or a rain jacket on your way out in the morning because rain chances continue to increase as the day progresses. However, all of this rain is making the temperatures remain in the 80’s! Highs will be in the upper 80’s under partly sunny skies which is such a nice change from Thursday!

Showers and thunderstorms will be hanging around all day, though, so bring an umbrella if you venture out. Rain chances decrease in the evening and into the overnight hours and are completely gone by Sunday. The start to your weekend is going to be wet and rainy, but the temperatures are much lower, which is such a relief from this HOT weather!
Well, that’s it for this forecast. Have a great rest of the work week and remember to stay hydrated in the heat and safe during the storms!
