Scattered showers and storms are expected to continue impacting the Lexington area throughout the weekend and into the early part of the week, with humidity contributing to a muggy atmosphere. This evening, residents can expect these weather patterns to persist, although showers and storms are likely to diminish after sunset, leading to a warm night with lows in the mid to upper 60s.
Looking ahead to Sunday, sporadic afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms will again be in the forecast, as temperatures rise into the mid-80s, maintaining seasonal averages. The humidity will remain high throughout the day.
On Monday, the likelihood of widespread showers and storms increases ahead of an incoming cold front, particularly affecting areas along and west of I-75, where isolated strong to severe storms could occur. Damaging winds pose the primary threat during this period of unsettled weather, which is expected to extend into Monday night.
Tuesday marks the final day of this humid spell, with additional scattered showers and storms anticipated before a shift in conditions occurs. Mid to late next week heralds a drier forecast with perhaps only a stray shower or storm possible. As humidity begins to wane, the outlook looks promising for the upcoming 4th of July celebrations, with warmer temperatures expected to return that weekend.
Residents are encouraged to enjoy the rest of the weekend as they prepare for the changes in the weather pattern ahead.
