The National Weather Service of Louisville is predicting severe weather Sunday, which could impact Jack Harlow’s first Gazebo Festival and Memorial Day weekend activities.
The most likely hazard will be high winds “with localized hurricane-force gusts possible,” according to the Louisville office of the National Weather Service. Tornadoes, flooding and hail are less likely but also possible.
Isolated thunderstorms could begin as early as Sunday morning with more widespread storms expected Sunday evening.
The storms could last until early Monday morning. After a cloudy start on Memorial Day, it will be sunny later in the day with the temperature hitting nearly 80, according to the National Weather Service’s Louisville office.
Organized severe weather is possible Sunday into Sunday night. Damaging wind gusts, possibly up to hurricane force in some spots, will be the main hazard, but we cannot rule out a tornado, flooding, or hail. #kywx #inwx pic.twitter.com/nE0QIwLWT2
