Kentucky skies hang thick and gray as scattered showers sweep across Louisville, leaving wet pavement and a humid, springlike feel in mid-February. Temperatures are already pushing toward the upper 60s, and breezy south winds are gusting near 25 mph. Drivers along I-64 and I-65 should expect slick spots and brief reductions in visibility through late morning.
According to the National Weather Service in Louisville, rain chances climb to 80 percent Thursday afternoon with thunderstorms possible after 4 p.m. Rainfall totals may range from a tenth to a quarter inch, with higher amounts in heavier downpours. Showers remain likely Thursday night as temperatures ease back into the upper 40s.
Today stays mild with highs near 67. A few showers linger into the afternoon before coverage increases again Thursday. Gusty winds could sway high-profile vehicles on open bridges over the Ohio River. Keep headlights on in steady rain and allow extra stopping distance.
Friday turns sunny and calmer with highs near 55. That break will be brief. By Saturday night, a 30 percent chance of rain may mix with snow as lows dip near 29. Even light moisture could create slick patches if temperatures fall toward freezing. This is the time of year when flash freezing develops quickly on untreated roads.
Sunday trends cooler with highs near 38 under partly sunny skies. Early next week remains chilly but dry, then the 6–10 day outlook signals a warming trend building back into the Ohio Valley. Signs of early spring warmth could return by late next week.
