Hot temperatures continue for holiday weekend
SUMMARY: Hot temperatures persist through the holiday weekend, with highs ranging from 92 to 95 degrees and increasing humidity making it feel close to 100 degrees. Pools are expected to stay busy as dry conditions continue with minimal rain chances Sunday. A cold front arrives Monday, bringing scattered showers and thunderstorms, which will taper off by Tuesday, though isolated storms may linger midweek. Tropical Depression Three is developing near the South Carolina coast, potentially becoming Tropical Storm Chantelle by Saturday. Louisville saw a unique Viking cruise ship visit, diverted due to high Mississippi River levels. Despite the heat, dry weather favors 4th of July fireworks celebrations.
