NWS says heat not leaving the forecast for some time

Chief Meteorologist Brian Schoettmer with the National Weather Service in Louisville says temperatures will remain above typical June averages for some time.

“So it looks like a fairly prolonged period of above normal temperatures,” Schoettmer said. “Normal for areas around Louisville this time of year would be 86 degrees, and we’re expecting basically all week and into the weekend highs, a lot of them, in the mid 90s, and then as we get late week/into the weekend we might even see more upper 90s temperatures.”

Schoettmer says temperatures are expected to come down a little on Sunday or Monday as a cooler front works its way through, but that will only pull things from the upper 80s to the lower 80s.

“The one good thing about all this is while the temperatures are going to be pretty high, overall the humidity isn’t going to be as bad as it could be,” Schoettmer said. “For instance, our dew points are only going to be in the mid-60s, so that’s going to keep our heat indices mostly in the 95 to 100 degree range, so really not that much different than our temperatures.”

Schoettmer says with the extended period of heat, be sure to use caution when working outside, and be sure to keep an eye on others.

“Wear light and loose fitting clothing,” Schoettmer said. “Obviously drink plenty of water. Also, make sure you check up on neighbors, especially if you have an elderly neighbor, make sure that they’ve got their air conditioning and that they’re handling the heat okay. Another thing we like to caution folks is make sure you remember to check the back seat.”
