Kentucky – Low clouds drift over Louisville this morning while mild air pushes into the Ohio River Valley. Streets remain damp in places, and early commuters may notice patchy mist lingering over bridges and riverfront roads.
Warm air continues building across central Kentucky through the morning hours. Temperatures climb quickly toward the low 80s today, creating a burst of early spring warmth across Louisville.
According to the National Weather Service in Louisville, scattered showers and thunderstorms may develop through the morning and again later this evening, with about a 30 percent chance of rain across Jefferson County. Winds remain light but could briefly gust near 20 mph during passing storms.
Drivers traveling along I-64, I-65, and I-71 may encounter brief bursts of rain that reduce visibility. Slick pavement could develop during heavier showers.
The broader weather pattern turns wetter heading into the weekend. Rain becomes widespread Saturday, with precipitation chances near 100 percent across Louisville and surrounding counties.
Periods of steady rain could slow travel during the morning and afternoon hours Saturday. Allow extra time if heading out on regional highways.
Conditions improve by Sunday as clouds break for sunshine across much of Kentucky. High temperatures settle near 64 degrees, offering a calmer and cooler end to the weekend.
Early Sunday morning also marks the arrival of Daylight Saving Time, when clocks move forward one hour at 2 a.m. The shift brings longer daylight into the evening hours across the region.
The warming trend quickly returns afterward. Monday temperatures climb back toward 72 degrees, and meteorologists are tracking signs of broader spring warmth building across the Ohio Valley next week.
Rapid temperature swings this time of year can also create flash freezing on bridges after sunset if moisture remains on pavement.
