Air quality warning issued for Louisville in southern Indiana on Wednesday

A LITTLE ABOUT THE WEATHER HERE, NINE MINUTES UNTIL 6:00 AM. IT’S GOING TO BE A NICE DAY OUT THERE. BUT IT’S A LITTLE CHILLY TO START WITH. IN THE SUBURBS OF METROPOLIS WE’RE CLOSER TO THE 50 DEGREE MARK. SAINT MATTHEWS, MIDDLETOWN PROSPECT J. JEFF, RIGHT, 5056, DOWNTOWN 51 SHIVELY VALLEY STATION FERN CREEK AND GEORGETOWN. AS WE GET OUT OF METROPOLIS, LOOK HOW MANY 40’S THERE ARE. IN SEYMOUR WE’RE UP TO 42, IN E-TOWN WE’RE 47, AND IN LITCHFIELD AND CAMPBELLSVILLE WE’RE STAYING AT 50. I THINK WE’LL BE PUTTING ON HOODIES AND JACKETS TO START THE DAY, BUT THE BRIGHT SKIES WILL WARM US UP QUICKLY. WE’LL BE TAKING THEM OFF QUICKLY AS THE MORNING GOES ON. WE’LL BE AT 71 DEGREES BY NOON AND HIGH 79 DEGREES AND A COMFORTABLE 69 DEGREES BY 10 AM FOR ALL YOUR EVENING PLANS. LOOKS VERY VERY COMFORTABLE. AGAIN WE CONTINUE THE DRY WEATHER BUT ALSO THE WARMING TREND AS WE MOVE TOWARDS TOMORROW WHERE THE CHANCE OF 86 DEGREES, WHICH IS WHAT WE SHOULD BE ON THURSDAY FOR THE TIME OF THE YEAR, IS LOW TO NONE. ISOTHERMAL RAIN IS POSSIBLE OVER THE NEXT THREE DAYS UNTIL FRIDAY. BUT THAT’S REALLY OUR ONLY CHANCE OF RAIN IN THE SEVEN DAYS. SO WE’LL LOOK AT OUR SKIES LATE IN THE WEEK ON THURSDAY. IT’S TO THE NORTH AND WEST BUT THE FRONTAL SYSTEM IS MOVING IN OUR DIRECTION. I BELIEVE WE WILL HAVE AT LEAST A CHANCE FOR SOME OF THAT LIGHT RAIN ON FRIDAY. IT WON’T BE MUCH ALL OVER THE AREA, BUT I BELIEVE WE WILL HAVE A CHANCE FOR A LITTLE WET WEATHER AND WE WILL NEED IT IN THE YARDS AND GARDENS BECAUSE HE NEEDED IT. IT’S THE ONLY CHANCE FOR RAIN IN THE SEVEN DAYS THAT START TO GET HOT. WE WILL BE BACK TO 90 ON THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. A LITTLE BREAK AT 87 ON SATURDAY BEFORE REALLY HIGH HEAT COMES TO US. WE WILL BE AT 9497, TH ON SUNDAY FOR FATHER’S DAY, WELL OVER 90 GRAMS
