Louisville gets one more quiet, dry day Thursday, July 30, before a stormier stretch moves in late Friday night, according to AccuWeather. The city starts clear and mild, then warms to about 86 degrees under sunny skies with a light northeast breeze, as reported by BBC Weather.
Thursday night stays mainly clear and comfortable, with lows near 65. Friday, July 31, will see clouds and breaks of sun and be warmer, topping out near 88, with a couple of late showers possible.
Saturday Brings The Biggest Weather Concern
Saturday, August 1, is the pivot: showers and thunderstorms are expected through much of the day, with thundery showers and a high near 79. Forecast rainfall is 1 to 2 inches, with locally heavier totals possible, raising the possibility of flooding issues in spots. According to the FEMA Flood Map Service Center, the MSC is the official online location to find flood hazard mapping products and Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) for Louisville-Jefferson County. Louisville MSD provides floodplain-management maps and access to Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM), and lists a contact number for map requests at (502) 540-6000, which readers can use to check local flood-prone areas.
Some thundery showers are expected Saturday, so anyone with outdoor plans should keep an eye on updates and have an indoor backup.
Showers Linger Into Next Week
Saturday night remains stormy, with showers and thunderstorms possible and a low near 69. Sunday, August 2, turns a little warmer at about 80, but scattered storms remain possible, followed by mainly afternoon and evening chances Monday through Wednesday as highs climb back into the mid-to-upper 80s.
There are no watches or warnings listed for the Louisville area Thursday morning, but the weekend rainfall forecast is the one to watch. For now, Thursday and most of Friday look like the best window for errands, yard work and outdoor plans before the skies get considerably less cooperative.
