Kentucky’s Ohio River skyline looks calm this morning, but passing sprinkles could briefly dampen streets before colder air sets the stage for a quick winter swing. Temperatures are climbing toward 48 degrees, and pavement may turn slick again as readings fall tonight.
According to the National Weather Service in Louisville, scattered sprinkles are possible this afternoon with only a 10 percent chance of measurable rain. Winds turn northwest near 6 mph later today. By Sunday, isolated snow showers develop before 1 p.m. as highs stall near 34 degrees. Northwest winds increase to 18 mph, with gusts up to 26 mph.
Even light snow can coat elevated surfaces. Drivers along I-64, I-65 and I-71 should watch for brief visibility drops and slushy patches Sunday morning. Plan extra travel time and slow down on bridges over the Ohio River.
Sunday night drops to around 24 degrees, followed by a colder 20 degrees Monday night. That creates a flash-freeze risk. Any leftover moisture could refreeze quickly after sunset, especially in shaded neighborhoods and on untreated side streets.
Monday stays mostly cloudy with highs near 35 degrees. Sunshine returns Tuesday with a high near 43. By Wednesday, temperatures jump to 57 degrees with a 20 percent chance of afternoon showers. Thursday and Friday stay mild, with highs in the 50s.
Long-range trends favor above-normal temperatures into late next week, signaling early spring vibes across Louisville and southern Indiana.
