Kentucky starts the morning damp and gray, with wet pavement shining under low clouds and mild air lingering for now. That calm feel will not last long as colder air presses in and winter hazards begin stacking up.
According to the National Weather Service in Louisville, scattered showers continue early today before tapering off by midday. As a cold front moves through, temperatures fall quickly and rain may mix with flurries later tonight. Brief reductions in visibility and slick spots are possible during heavier snow showers.
In Louisville, highs reach the mid-50s before colder air takes over this afternoon. Roads along I-64, I-65, and I-71 stay wet early, but conditions change after sunset. As temperatures drop toward the upper 20s, leftover moisture may freeze. Bridges, overpasses, and shaded streets become the primary concern.
By Sunday morning, flurries may linger, though little accumulation is expected. Sunshine returns during the day, but highs only reach the mid-30s. Gusty northwest winds add a biting feel, keeping wind chills low despite clearing skies.
Sunday night brings the coldest stretch so far. Lows fall into the mid-20s, increasing the risk of frost and black ice. Any melting from daytime sunshine can refreeze quickly after dark. Drivers and early commuters should stay alert.
Early next week trends quieter but still wintry. Monday stays sunny with highs near 45, followed by another cold night. Tuesday warms back into the mid-50s before rain chances return by midweek, with another cold snap possible behind it.
Plan ahead today. Slow down on wet roads, watch temperatures closely tonight, and expect slick conditions early Sunday.
