SUMMARY: The application deadline for medical cannabis licenses in Kentucky recently closed, with nearly 90% of the 5,000 total submissions received in the last four days. This last-minute influx has created challenges for processing the applications timely. During the Team Kentucky update, Governor Beshear expressed concerns about meeting upcoming deadlines, noting the overwhelming interest from Kentuckians in the program. To address the surge, the state plans to increase staffing to ensure that the application process is completed before the program’s launch in January 2025.

In total, the Commonwealth received 5,000 applications for medical marijuana licenses, far exceeding expectations.

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.
