Showers and Storms in the East; Dangerously Hot and Dry in the West

Scattered showers and storms are expected across portions of the Central and Eastern U.S. through the end of the week. Meanwhile, dangerous heat will intensify across the Desert Southwest and Intermountain West. Hot, dry weather and increasing winds will allow elevated wildfire conditions to return to the northern Intermountain West, where air quality issues persist from ongoing fires. Read More >

NWS Louisville delivered two Turn Around Don't Drown (TADD) road signs to Madison County, KY officials this past Tuesday (8/1/23).   These signs will be posted at the junction of Four Mile Road and Hunter Lane where Otter Creek frequently overflows during heavy rains causing portions of these roads to flood.   In 2019, a swift water rescue had to be done to save people that had driven into the flood waters at this location.  Hopefully with added TADD signs along this frequently flooded roadway, people driving through the area will play it safe when they see flood waters and remember to "Turn Around Don't Drown!"
