SUMMARY: Louisville is experiencing a hot July 4th weekend with temperatures in the mid-90s and sticky humidity. A few stray showers are possible Sunday afternoon, but most areas will stay dry. The better chance for scattered showers and storms returns Monday, with heavy rain, downpours, and some gusty winds likely, though no severe weather is expected. Rain chances linger through the workweek, with isolated afternoon storms Tuesday and Wednesday, and another increased chance Thursday. Temperatures will drop slightly to upper 80s and low 90s. Tropical Storm Chantal is off the Carolina coast, expected to make landfall with rain staying mostly offshore.

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.
