Heat Advisory
Heat Advisory declared by the National Weather Service (NWS).

The National Weather Service is predicting “dangerous heat” for Louisville and much of the Ohio River Valley today, and has placed the city under a Heat Advisory until 8 p.m. tonight.

“Dangerous heat will impact much of the U.S. today as widespread excessive heat warnings and heat advisories are in effect,” the NWS said in a statement on its website. “Also, severe storms with damaging winds, hail and a tornado or two are possible from the Great Lakes into the Ohio Valley.”

Temperatures are expected to be in the 90s in Louisville today, but thanks to the high humidity, the Heat Index could be as high as 110.

So if you’re susceptible to the heat, please stay inside and drink more water. And if you are struggling to stay cool outside, Louisville’s Public Libraries and Neighborhood Place locations are acting as daytime cooling centers during the extreme heat.
