Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Central Kentucky and Southern Indiana
National Weather Service Louisville KY
334 AM EDT Thu Jul 31 2025

.DISCUSSION...
Scattered showers and thunderstorms will break the heat this
afternoon as a cold front moves through the Ohio Valley. Expect
northeast winds to bring below normal temperatures and more
reasonable humidity levels Friday into the weekend as high
pressure over the Great Lakes controls our weather pattern.
Temperatures will continue to run below normal into next week,
with daily rain chances but no single day that looks like a
washout.
