Following a considerable cool down, residents and visitors of Lexington, Kentucky should expect a noticeable change in weather during the ensuing week, notably on Father’s Day. A few showers and storms are anticipated to precede a sizeable warm-up, offering an interesting mix of conditions over the next few days.
Friday will usher in a cold front approaching from the northwest, causing the day to feel somewhat warm and muggy. This front is predicted to incite isolated showers and storms across the region in the afternoon. A subset of these storms could potentially be strong, specifically in eastern Kentucky, where a low-end Level 1 Severe Risk has been projected.
These showers and storms will be isolated, and most parts of the region will remain dry. By early evening, the front will have passed, and residents can look forward to low humidity and seasonably warm temperatures heading into the weekend.
The cold front is set to sweep through the region overnight on Friday, resulting in a wave of refreshing air come Saturday morning. Temperatures are expected to linger in the low 60s along with low humidity which should sustain throughout the day. By the afternoon, temperatures could hit the mid-80s, but this should be quite comfortable for this time of the year. Despite the forecasted afternoon sunshine, citizens are advised to wear sunscreen due to a UV Index forecast of 10.
The real heat is projected to arrive by Sunday, Father’s Day. The air should still be relatively dry, which is likely to cause temperatures to surge into the low to possibly mid 90s by Sunday afternoon. The humidity, while not overwhelming, will certainly be detectable later in the day.
Humidity levels will notably increase on Monday and Tuesday due to incoming tropical moisture in the region. Pop-up showers and storms might occur during the afternoon and evening hours early next week, followed by a mild dry spell mid-week, possibly pushing temperatures to reach the mid-90s.
In light of the ongoing heatwave into next week, residents are urged to take appropriate precautions to safeguard their health and well-being. Please ensure that you are regularly checking on elderly friends and neighbors, especially those without A/C. Remain alert for further updates on the weather situation.
