Good evening, Kentucky. We're wrapping up the day for you with the most important stories you need to know and your weather outlook.
Your Weather Planner
This evening will be very uncomfortable with high humidity combining with high temperatures. It will feel like the upper 90s and lower 100s through the evening hours. Northeastern Kentucky has a chance for a thunderstorm, but most of us will stay dry.
Tonight will be partly cloudy and tropical-like with lows in the upper 70s to lower 80s so the air conditioning will be humming.
Tomorrow's Forecast
Tuesday will be another scorcher with temperatures topping out into the middle to upper 90s. Southwest Kentucky will make a run for 100. Excessive Heat Warnings and Heat Advisories are in effect. With the humidity, it will feel like the triple digits so make sure you take frequent breaks if you work outside and stay hydrated. Also, don't forget about your pets.
