Slight risk of severe weather forecast Monday east of I-65 in Kentucky. What to know
The National Weather Service in Louisville anticipates a slight risk for severe thunderstorms June 9 in central and eastern Kentucky.
As a cold front moves into the commonwealth, the weather service isn't ruling out a chance for heavy rain, hail and damaging winds, particularly east of the Interstate 65 corridor. The slight risk area covers Frankfort, Lexington, Bowling Green, and other Kentucky cities to the south and east.
Severe weather seems less likely in Louisville, which was placed under a marginal risk by the Storm Prediction Center. Some rain is possible in the metro area June 9, according to a National Weather Service forecast, though wind gusts could be below 10 mph most of the day.
As for the rest of the week, Louisville is expected to see mostly clear skies Tuesday through Thursday, with high temperatures in the 80s. Rain could return by the weekend. Here's a look at the forecast.
Monday: Showers and thunderstorms before 11 a.m., then showers and possibly a thunderstorm between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m., then a chance of showers and thunderstorms after 2 p.m. High near 77. Southwest wind 6 to 8 mph. Chance of precipitation is 80%. New rainfall amounts of less than a tenth of an inch, except higher amounts possible in thunderstorms.

Early summer heatwave settles in with a few afternoon thunderstorms
SALT LAKE CITY (ABC 4) – Happy Monday, Utah! It's shaping up to be a hot start to the week across Utah and as high pressure settles in overhead. Temperatures are already running above normal, and you can expect things to heat up even more heading into midweek. We're talking sunshine, very warm afternoons, and that classic summer feel…especially across northern Utah where temps will rise a few more degrees today. Daytime highs will climb to around 90 degrees along the Wasatch Front, and triple-digit heat for St. George. That said, it's not completely dry out there. There's still some lingering moisture hanging around, and that means we can't rule out a few afternoon showers and thunderstorms, especially over the higher terrain. These storms won't be widespread, but they'll be the kind that bubble up with daytime heating, toss out a few gusty outflow winds, and then fizzle once the sun starts to dip. By midweek, the ridge remains in control, but a weak low nearby could stir up a bit more action in the skies. Look for another round of high-based storms that might stretch beyond the mountains and drift into the surrounding valleys late Tuesday and Wednesday. Again, they won't bring much rain…but they could kick up some wind. Looking beyond midweek, things really dry out. A broader pattern shift will usher in hot and breezy southwesterly flow across the region, especially from Thursday into the weekend. That means we'll need to keep a close watch on fire danger—conditions are looking ripe for critical fire weather, especially in central and southern Utah.
