From the National Weather Service Weather Forecast Office in Louisville.

Another Heat Wave is Coming! Under a partly to mostly sunny sky today, expect high temperatures this afternoon in the upper 80s to lower 90s. Isolated late afternoon and evening thunderstorms are possible over eastern sections of south-central Kentucky, east of Glasgow. The heat and humidity will build early this week. Afternoon high temperatures will be in the 90s Monday through Wednesday, with upper 90s in some areas around and west of Interstate 65. Maximum heat index values Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons will range from 103-106 in counties around and west of Interstate 65 (including Louisville and Bowling Green), with upper 90s/near 100 index values in the Bluegrass area (including Lexington). Take the proper precautions to protect yourself from heat-realted illness. Drink plenty of water and reduce strenuous outside activity during the heat of the day. NEVER leave small children or pets in a car with the windows rolled up during the afternoon heat! Remember, Beat the Heat…Check the Back Seat!
