Louisville, Kentucky – Fall begins Tuesday as a cold front pushes south, bringing clouds and highs in the 70s to much of central Kentucky and southern Indiana.
According to the National Weather Service in Louisville, the front will continue moving south through the region Tuesday. Cloudy skies will linger for a good portion of the day behind it, with temperatures ranging from about 70 to 80 degrees.
Rain will be limited Tuesday, with a 15% to 20% chance indicated across the region.
A small chance for showers and thunderstorms continues Wednesday, particularly across eastern portions of the area. Wednesday highs will range from 72 to 77 degrees.
The bigger change will be an extended period of cooler weather. The Weather Service expects below normal temperatures and dry conditions for most of the next seven days after Wednesday's limited rain chance.
Thursday highs will range from 72 to 78 degrees, followed by 71 to 79 Friday. Similar temperatures continue through the weekend, with highs of 72 to 79 Saturday and 73 to 79 Sunday.
For Louisville and surrounding communities, the southward moving cold front means the first day of astronomical fall will arrive with a noticeable break from hotter conditions. Drivers could encounter cloudy skies Tuesday, but widespread precipitation is not indicated in the information provided.
Residents planning outdoor events later in the week should find predominantly dry conditions after Wednesday. The cooler pattern then holds through the weekend, keeping afternoon temperatures largely in the 70s across central Kentucky and southern Indiana.
