US · Published Jul 22, 2026
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.

Impact & Risks

Residents in Kentucky should prepare for potentially hazardous weather conditions, including damaging winds, large hail, and localized flooding due to heavy rainfall. The risk of isolated tornadoes, though low, cannot be ruled out. The most intense storms are expected during the afternoon and evening hours, with impacts diminishing after 10 PM. Those in low-lying or flood-prone areas should remain vigilant, as some regions may experience over 2 inches (50 mm) of rain.
