Louisville, KY – Residents across Jefferson County and neighboring southern Indiana communities are dealing with an unusually chilly start to November's second week, with a National Weather Service Freeze Warning remaining in effect until 10 a.m. EST Sunday, Nov. 8.
According to the National Weather Service in Louisville, subfreezing temperatures as low as the upper 20s are expected across portions of central Kentucky and southern Indiana.
The warning includes areas surrounding Louisville, Jeffersonville, New Albany, Clarksville and other communities across the Ohio River Valley.
Freeze Warning and Fog Create Morning Concerns At Louisville Bowman Field Airport, temperatures were near 35 degrees shortly before 5 a.m., with humidity reaching 96%.
While the airport remained above freezing, surrounding rural and sheltered locations could experience colder conditions.
The National Weather Service warns that frost and freezing temperatures could damage sensitive vegetation, crops and exposed outdoor plumbing.
Residents should protect vulnerable plants and ensure outdoor water lines are properly insulated.
A separate Special Weather Statement also highlights locally dense fog developing in river valleys.
The fog could reduce visibility for drivers using low beam headlights along roads near the Ohio River.
Motorists traveling Interstate 64, Interstate 65 and Interstate 71 should remain alert for changing visibility, especially near river crossings and low lying areas.
The weather statement also advises drivers to watch for isolated slick spots where temperatures have fallen below freezing.
Temperatures Rebound Quickly Through Tuesday The cold start will not last throughout the afternoon.
Louisville should reach approximately 59 degrees Sunday under sunny skies, with patchy frost ending during the morning.
Monday, Nov. 9, brings sunshine and a high near 63 degrees.
By Tuesday, Nov. 10, temperatures climb toward 67 degrees, producing a substantial rebound from the region's freezing conditions.
That means some locations could experience a temperature difference approaching 40 degrees between the coldest warning area readings and Tuesday afternoon.
The warmer stretch provides an opportunity for yard cleanup and outdoor winter preparations.
