An extreme heat warning continues across Kentucky through Friday evening, with heat index values expected to reach as high as 112 degrees, according to WUKY 91.3 FM.
State officials are urging residents to take precautions as the dangerous heat persists. The Kentucky Division for Air Quality and the state health department recommend staying hydrated, avoiding prolonged outdoor activity during peak heat hours, and seeking refuge in cooling centers if air conditioning is unavailable at home.
Heat index values—which measure how hot it feels when humidity is factored in—are expected to make outdoor conditions particularly hazardous. The National Weather Service typically issues extreme heat warnings when heat index values are forecast to reach 104 degrees or higher.
Lexington residents and other Kentuckians should monitor their neighbors, especially elderly adults and those with underlying health conditions, who are at heightened risk during extreme heat events. Pet owners are also reminded to provide adequate water and shade for animals and to never leave pets in vehicles.
The warning extends through Friday evening, though weather conditions could change. Residents are advised to check local forecasts and heed guidance from city and county emergency management officials.
