WNKY News 40 Weather Forecast

STRONG STORMS POSSIBLE TONIGHT

It was another hot and humid day across Southern Kentucky, and that heat will help fuel showers and thunderstorms overnight. Not everyone will see rain, but storms that do develop could become strong to severe, with damaging wind gusts as the primary concern.

HOT AGAIN MONDAY WITH ANOTHER STORM CHANCE

Behind the overnight storms, Monday quickly heats back up. Highs will reach the lower 90s, but it’ll feel closer to 105 to 107 degrees during the afternoon. Most of the day looks dry, but another isolated shower or thunderstorm could develop, and a few storms may once again become strong. If you’re outdoors, stay hydrated, take frequent breaks, and keep an eye on the sky.

WARM WEEK CONTINUES

Tuesday stays hot with another chance for scattered afternoon storms before temperatures ease back into the upper 80s by Wednesday. Sunshine dominates the middle of the week, with the next better opportunity for more widespread showers and thunderstorms arriving next weekend.
