Prolonged Warm SpellFrom the National Weather Service Weather Forecast Office in Louisville Has it seemed unusually warm so far this July? The heat has not been record breaking, as only once did a record get tied for Louisville…the maximum low temperature for July 23 tied the previous mark of 81° set twice before, back in 1991 and in 1901. However the low temperature at Louisville stayed at or above 70 degrees from the 4th through the 29th. That string of 26 days is tied for the fourth longest such streak. The record is 36 days in a row, set back in 1935. A shorter streak is ongoing at Bowling Green, 19 days, back to July 12. However, that streak is still up there though as far as records go, tied for 5th place. The record streak for Bowling Green ended on August 11, 2001, at 26 days in a row. Longest consecutive day streaks for minimum temperatures at or above 70 degrees at Louisville: 1. 36 days (ending on August 21, 1935) 2. 32 days (8/21/1995) 3. 30 days (7/20/1921) 4. 26 days (current streak and 8/7/1955) What are the chances of us setting the record at Bowling Green? They look pretty good right now. The current 7 day forecast issued by your National Weather Service keeps the official station at Bowling Green at or above 70 degrees each day. The 8-14 day outlook, issued by the Climate Prediction Center and pictured below, has readings averaging above normal for the period August 8-14. Normal lows for early August are 66 and 67 for Bowling Green.
