Louisville, KY – Kentucky residents could get an early taste of winter this Friday, November 13, as a sharp temperature drop brings the possibility of snow flurries to parts of the state following several days of unusually mild weather.
According to the National Weather Service NWS in Louisville, a developing low pressure system will move through the region beginning late Wednesday, bringing rain, colder temperatures and a small chance of snowflakes by the end of the workweek.
While the possibility remains low, Friday's forecast introduces the potential for some communities to see their first snowflakes of the season.
From 70 Degrees to Possible Snowflakes Monday will bring sunshine and afternoon highs between 62 and 67 degrees across the Louisville forecast area.
Tuesday will be even warmer, with temperatures reaching 65 to 70 degrees under sunny skies.
Wednesday remains mild, with highs between 65 and 70 degrees before rain chances increase late in the day, particularly west of Interstate 65.
The approaching weather system will then bring a significant change.
Snow Flurries Possible Friday Thursday, November 12, will feature rain showers and isolated thunderstorms early, with afternoon temperatures dropping to between 50 and 55 degrees.
By Friday, colder air will settle across the region, bringing highs of just 42 to 47 degrees.
The NWS identifies a low, approximately 10% chance of flurries Friday, mainly in areas east of Interstate 75.
Although the chance is small, the possibility of snowflakes marks a noticeable shift toward winterlike conditions.
No accumulating snowfall is indicated in the current forecast.
Colder Nights Arrive Overnight temperatures will also fall sharply as the system moves through.
Thursday night lows are expected between 30 and 35 degrees, bringing freezing conditions to some locations.
Residents should prepare for a much colder end to the week compared with the mild temperatures expected Monday through Wednesday.
While a few snowflakes could make an appearance Friday, forecasters are not predicting a significant winter storm.
The NWS will continue monitoring the system as the timing and extent of the colder air become clearer.
