SUMMARY: The weather remains hot, with temperatures reaching the lower 90s and some isolated showers recently developing. Better rain chances return midweek, especially Wednesday, which is expected to bring scattered thunderstorms, heavy downpours, and gusty winds due to a trough moving in from the northwest. Tuesday may see a stray shower as moisture increases, but mostly dry conditions will last through early week. After Wednesday and Thursday showers, heat will return, with temperatures in the lower 90s by the weekend. The Kentucky State Fair is forecasted to be hot and mostly dry, but locals are advised to stay hydrated amid the persistent heat and humidity.

SUMMARY: On August 12th, Principal Planner Hannah Crepps will present plans for a new street art program in Lexington at the Environmental Quality and Public Works Committee meeting. The program aims to formalize street art projects, which many U.S. cities use to calm traffic and reduce crashes by incorporating painted crosswalks and road designs. Lexington will draft guidelines including funding sources, community decision-making, and traffic safety compliance. A pilot chalk art project was tested in May 2025 on Shropshire Avenue. Residents can engage with the program by contacting Crepps and watching the live meeting online or in person.
