Chances of rain diminish Thursday heading into the weekend, according to the NWS. High temperatures this week are expected to at least be in the mid 80s with some days reaching the 90s.
Dry weather will continue for most today with temperatures reaching the upper 80s and lower 90s this afternoon. Storm chances increase for Tuesday into Wednesday as the remnants of Hurricane Beryl move by the region. #KYwx #INwx pic.twitter.com/028Ik9bDxv
