Summer heat rolls along this week
SUMMARY: Summer arrived with a heatwave over the Ohio Valley, bringing hot, humid conditions and highs in the low 90s with heat indexes over 100°F. A Heat Advisory is in effect until 8 PM Wednesday as sticky air persists. Tuesday will be similarly hot and humid with afternoon highs in the mid-90s and isolated storms that may cause brief heavy rain.

Impact weather returns Wednesday with scattered storms
SUMMARY: Impact weather returns Wednesday with scattered storms expected in the Milwaukee area. After a mostly dry day with a few stray showers Monday evening, rain chances will rise Tuesday through Thursday due to a frontal system moving in from the north and west, tapping Gulf moisture. Wednesday is the peak day for scattered storms with possible heavy downpours and gusty winds, though no severe weather is anticipated. Rainfall totals are expected between half an inch to over an inch, providing much-needed relief to areas experiencing dryness and drought conditions. Fair and warm weather should return by the weekend, ideal for outdoor activities and the Kentucky State Fair.

A presentation on the Mint Lane pump station
SUMMARY: On August 12th, Water Quality Director Charlie Martin will present proposed improvements to the Mint Lane pump station at the Environmental Quality and Public Works Committee meeting. The pump station, serving west Lexington’s Beaumont area, moves storm and sewer water to treatment plants. Since 2015, it has experienced 28 overflows, leaking 12.9 million gallons of untreated sewage. Improvements are required by Lexington’s EPA Consent Decree, stemming from a 2006 lawsuit over sewer system violations, mandating $590 million in repairs by 2030. Relocation was considered but deemed inefficient; a new station design is proposed by 2026, with construction in 2027-2028. Public engagement is encouraged.
