Louisville Extends Storm Alert Through Sunday as Flash Flood Risk Builds in 2 Rounds
3 articles · Updated · WAVE 3 · Jul 10
Summary
Early Saturday storms are expected to bring heavy rain and possible flash flooding to Louisville, with the main threat peaking closer to sunrise and some damaging winds also possible.
A second round is forecast for early Saturday evening, renewing flooding and wind risks and keeping the Alert Day in place into early Sunday before storm coverage eases well before sunrise.
Sunday afternoon still carries additional thunderstorm chances, mainly in Kentucky, as the low-pressure system driving the widespread rain shifts south; highs are expected in the 80s.
Monday and Tuesday should turn somewhat drier, but forecasters say the same system could move back north and bring more storm chances by mid-next week.
