Summer Heat West, Lingering Rain Across the East
A sharp weather divide will cut across Kentucky today. Western regions will remain under a ridge of high pressure, leading to hot and mostly sunny conditions, while a slow-moving trough and stalled boundary across the central and eastern counties trigger widespread morning rain and afternoon showers.
Confidence Assessment
High agreement on the overall pattern split, but moderate uncertainty remains regarding the exact time the rain tapers off in Eastern Kentucky.
Get Personalized Forecasts
Choose which region in Kentucky you're interested in and we'll always show you that one first. You can change your selected region by clicking the "Star" icon on any regional forecast.
Purchase Area
Expect a very hot and sunny day with no chance of rain. Temperatures will reach the mid-90s, and it will feel quite humid.
Northwest Pennyrile
Mostly sunny skies will prevail. It will be a very warm day with temperatures climbing into the low 90s.
Southwest Pennyrile
Sunshine will be the rule today. Highs will reach the low 90s with high humidity making it feel like the mid-90s.
Barren River
Expect some rain showers during the morning hours, but clouds will break for sunshine by the afternoon. Highs will be around 90.
Louisville Metro
Rain will move through the city during the morning commute, but skies will begin to clear by late afternoon. Expect a humid day.
Lincoln Trail
Several hours of morning rain are expected. Skies will remain mostly cloudy through the afternoon as rain tapers off.
Lake Cumberland
It will be a damp day with periods of rain continuing through the afternoon. Accumulations around 0.4 inches are expected.
Northern Kentucky
A wet morning is in store with steady rain. Conditions will remain cloudy and breezy through the afternoon.
Inner Bluegrass
Rain will be likely through much of the morning and midday hours. Expect breezy conditions with gusts up to 30 mph.
Bluegrass Foothills
Clouds and light rain will persist through the day. Amounts will be relatively small, generally around 0.3 inches.
Northeast Kentucky
Expect persistent rain for much of the day. It will be the coolest region in the state with highs in the lower 80s.
Southeast Kentucky
Rain will be a frequent companion today, only slowly tapering off by late evening. Over half an inch of rain is likely.
Possible Outcomes
Weather forecasting involves uncertainty. Below are two scenarios representing the range of possible outcomes: the "Boom" scenario shows the worst-case/highest-impact result if conditions align unfavorably, while the "Bust" scenario shows the best-case/lowest-impact result if the forecast doesn't materialize as expected.
The 'Boom' Scenario
If the shortwave trough slows its progression as suggested by the GFS, rainfall totals in the Southeast Coalfields and Northeast Kentucky could exceed 0.75 inches, leading to localized ponding and a significantly cooler day with highs struggling to reach 80 degrees.
The 'Bust' Scenario
If the dry air currently over the Purchase region pushes further east faster than expected, rainfall may diminish into light sprinkles or virga across the Bluegrass Core, leaving most areas with less than a tenth of an inch and quickly rising humidity.
Model Disagreements
When models disagree, a call must be made to determine the most likely outcome. This decision is based on a combination of factors including model performance, historical data, and the models general accounting of each climatic region of Kentucky.
The Departure of the Dampness
The GFS and NAM maintain high precipitation probabilities across the Bluegrass and Coalfields through the late evening, while the ECMWF aggressively clears the column from west to east starting by mid-afternoon.
Why EURO Wins
The ECMWF's handling of dry slots behind departing shortwaves is historically more reliable than the GFS tendency to smear light precipitation long after the primary forcing has exited.
Purchase Thermal Peak
Models are split on the magnitude of the heat in the far west, with the NAM suggesting 95 degrees while the GFS holds at 93 due to slightly higher soil moisture assumptions.
Why NAM Wins
The NAM captures the local thermal ridge and boundary layer mixing in the Purchase region more effectively during peak summer months.
