Louisville is starting Monday with clear skies and temperatures ranging from the mid-50s to upper 60s, but the calm opening gives way to a sharp midweek heat surge. The forecast calls for a sunny high in the 80s today, followed by highs in the 90s Tuesday and Wednesday, with heat index values reaching 105.
Quiet Monday, Hot Tuesday
Monday should stay sunny and dry, with winds shifting from north to east before mostly clear skies settle in Monday night. The National Weather Service Louisville office has issued a Heat Advisory from noon Tuesday through 8 p.m. Wednesday as high humidity pushes afternoon heat-index readings into dangerous territory.
Heat Holds Through Thursday
Tuesday and Wednesday will be hot, with the ridge holding through the period. Thursday remains sunny and hot with another high near 96, while the first meaningful rain chances arrive late in the week.
Small Storm Chances Return Friday
Friday brings shower and thunderstorm chances late in the week. The weekend follows Friday.
Cooling Options And Heat Safety
Residents can consult Louisville Metro’s heat-safety resources for more information. Heat safety remains an important consideration during hot weather.
