SUMMARY: The heat is easing with a comfortable weekend ahead. Northeasterly breezes and drier air follow a front that brought showers and storms yesterday, leading to lower humidity and below-normal temperatures. Friday will be pleasant with highs near 84°F and plenty of sunshine. Saturday remains calm and warm with low humidity and breezy conditions. However, shower chances increase Sunday, especially in central and southern Kentucky, due to an incoming system. This rain may continue into Monday and Tuesday with scattered storms, easing by midweek. Temperatures will stay in the middle to upper 80s, with dry conditions returning by Thursday.

WLKY Meteorologist Matt Milosevich has the latest on a break from the heat and humidity, plus when rain chances return in the forecast.
