The Heat and Humidity Keep Rolling
The late July heat and humidity rolled right along Saturday afternoon across Central and Eastern Kentucky, and it doesn’t look to be letting up anytime soon. With a strong upper-level ridge overhead, we had plenty of sunshine once again, allowing temperatures to soar into the low and mid-90s. Add in a light but steady southwest breeze pulling in muggy air, and heat index values climbed into the triple digits for many locations—some areas west of Lexington even felt closer to 105 degrees. This stagnant, classic midsummer pattern is going to stick around through the end of the weekend and into early next week. A Heat Advisory is in effect from noon Monday through 8 PM Wednesday for areas surrounding and West of Lexington.
