Severe Storms Expected in Kentucky on First Alert Weather Day
Strong to severe storms are forecasted to impact Kentucky on Tuesday, July 21, 2026, as part of a First Alert Weather Day (WYMT). The storms, fueled by warm temperatures in the mid to upper 80s (29-31°C) and high humidity with dewpoints in the mid-70s (23-24°C), are expected to bring damaging winds, large hail, heavy rainfall, and a slight chance of isolated tornadoes. The storms will intensify in the afternoon and evening, with some areas potentially receiving over 2 inches (50 mm) of rainfall. A series of cold fronts driving these storms will bring relief later in the week, with cooler and drier conditions expected.
