Alexa Minton’s Forecast | Tracking temps returning to normal
LEXINGTON, Ky. (WKYT) – We have another day of us building back up our temperatures into that typical August feel. Temps today will rise into the upper 80s for many, and factoring in some humidity will have us feeling that summer steam once again. A few models are tracking an isolated rain chance for our area, but many will only notice sunny – but muggy – skies for our Sunday. Take advantage for the calm conditions so we are are tracking rain to return in the work week.
The front end of the week will remain mainly dry for many, with a few isolated chances as a system passes north of the state. Temps will continue to climb, peaking in the low end of the 90s for Monday and Tuesday. Tuesday evening the humidity will switch from rain into showers, giving us rain chances in the overnight that lead into Wednesday.
Scattered storms will remain persistent on Wednesday – and while things will calm down on Thursday, we are seeing more rain chances possible as we head into Labor Day weekend.
Have a great Sunday!

The game will be televised by ESPN with Karl Ravech (play-by-play) and Jimmy Dykes (analyst) on the call.

A Tennessee-Kentucky availability report is listed below for Saturday’s basketball game in SEC play. Four players are listed as out, while three student-athletes are questionable.
Tennessee-Kentucky basketball game injury report
Tennessee junior forward Cade Phillips is out. He will miss the remainder of the 2025-26 basketball season due to a recurring shoulder injury.
“We will sincerely miss having Cade on the court and he is certainly disappointed that he won’t be able to play the rest of the regular season, but it’s essential he gets healthy,” Barnes said on Dec. 8, 2025. “Cade did all he could to play through this injury as long as possible.”
Troy Henderson, Felix Okpara and Amaree Abram are listed as questionable for the Vols at Kentucky.
Sophomore guard Kam Williams, junior guard Jaland Lowe and sophomore forward Jayden Quaintance are also listed as out for Kentucky.

Otega Oweh has struggled to get rolling against Tennessee
Kentucky senior Otega Oweh is having a career season in 2025-26. The former Oklahoma transfer is setting career highs in points (17.0), assists (2.6), steals (1.8), and two-point shooting percentage (52.8%). The senior has taken on a big offensive load this season and is delivering. Oweh is entering Saturday’s game riding a streak of four consecutive games of 20-plus points. Yet, the preseason SEC Player of the Year is still looking for his first big scoring performance against Tennessee.
Oweh is averaging 16.5 points on .486/.353/.757 shooting splits at Kentucky over 59 games. The veteran has come well short of those averages in four career games against Tennessee.

Otega Oweh is averaging just 13 points per game on 37.8% shooting from two, 25% shooting from three, and 64.3% shooting at the line. All those numbers are much lower than his career averages at Kentucky. For some reason, Kentucky’s top scorer has struggled to get rolling against the Vols. The inefficient scoring has not stopped UK from recording a 3-1 record against Tennessee over the last two seasons, but Rick Barnes‘ defense has been able to take away Kentucky’s top scorer.
In the win over Tennessee earlier this season, Otega Oweh did not get going on the offensive end until crunch time. The Vols typically have a defensive plan that neutralizes Oweh. Kentucky could need some other scoring threats to emerge on Saturday night at Rupp Arena.
Otega Oweh’s next big scoring output against Tennessee will be his first. The senior has reached at least 20 points against nine SEC teams. Can he get there against a 10th in a fourth attempt on Saturday?
