Residents across Kentucky are experiencing a humid Memorial Day with patchy fog and drizzle, particularly in areas north of the Mountain Parkway. Drivers should be cautious of reduced visibility during the morning commute.

As the day progresses, communities in the Bluegrass and eastern Kentucky will see a break from heavier rain, though the weather remains warm and humid with temperatures reaching the upper 70s to lower 80s. Some scattered showers or thunderstorms may still occur, especially in the southeast.

More Rain Expected Tonight and Tuesday

The respite from rain will be short-lived as more showers and thunderstorms are expected to develop tonight and continue into Tuesday. This pattern is due to a disturbance moving toward Kentucky, bringing with it the potential for heavy rain and localized flooding, particularly in areas already saturated from previous rainfall.

Tuesday is anticipated to be another wet day across the Bluegrass region, with the atmosphere remaining moisture-laden, leading to efficient rainfall production from any storms that develop.

Wet Weather Continues Through the Week

The wet weather pattern is expected to persist through at least Thursday as a stalled weather boundary lingers near Kentucky. Temperatures will remain seasonably warm, with highs in the upper 70s to lower 80s and muggy overnight lows in the 60s.

There are indications that drier weather may arrive by late week or next weekend, but until then, Kentucky remains in a very active and humid weather pattern.
