THUNDER WEATHER



What is the weather generally like for Thunder Over Louisville?

The Weather for Thunder has varied widely. Highs for the day have ranged from mid-40's to mid-80's. Generally it gets cooler at night, so bring along a sweatshirt or jacket.

Will rain cancel the show?

Fortunately, Thunder has never been cancelled for any reason. Fireworks can be shot in the rain and as long as the show could be shot safely, it would go on. Thunder is such a massive logistical undertaking; it would be next to impossible to postpone it to another night.
