Late summer heat cranks up for the final week of August
Mother Nature has teased us with previews of fall-like temperatures on a few occasions during August but it looks like we are in far a dose of reality as we close out the month through the upcoming week. After a hot weekend across Central and Eastern Kentucky we saw more of the same on this final Monday of August with more sunshine and afternoon highs climbing into the upper 80s and low 90s. One saving grace is that humidity levels have been very manageable for this time of the year so that has kept us out of any major issues with the heat index getting into the danger zone. More heat will build eastward the next few days so expect temperatures to get even hotter during the afternoons.
FIRST ALERT WEATHER: The Heat Is On
HAZARD, Ky. (WYMT) - The heat and humidity will sizzle the next several days with our rain chances increasing later in the week. High temperatures for Tuesday and even Wednesday into Thursday will be in the low and mid 90s. Some places over the next few days could see Heat Index / Feels Like Values in the upper 90s and low triple digits.
