SUMMARY: Central and Eastern Kentucky enjoyed the warmest day of 2025 so far, with sunshine and highs in the mid-80s on Tuesday, accompanied by some wildfire smoke from western Canada that enhanced sunrises and sunsets without affecting air quality. Wednesday will remain warm and mostly sunny with highs in the mid to upper 80s, but a frontal boundary approaching from the northwest may bring isolated showers late in the day.

Rain chances persist into the weekend with cooler highs near 80°F and intermittent dry spells.
