Louisville, KY – Drivers across central Kentucky and southern Indiana could encounter slick road conditions early Saturday, November 14, as patchy fog combines with freezing temperatures. Forecasters warn that similar conditions may return Sunday morning, creating potential hazards for motorists traveling during the early hours.
According to the National Weather Service in Louisville, patchy fog and temperatures at or below freezing may produce slick spots on roads Saturday and Sunday mornings. Motorists are urged to use caution, particularly during early morning travel when colder pavement temperatures could increase the risk of slippery surfaces.
Freezing Temperatures Raise Morning Travel Concerns Saturday's forecast calls for partly sunny skies, with afternoon temperatures reaching between 46 and 51 degrees across the region.
However, the primary concern comes during the morning hours, when freezing temperatures and localized fog could create slick spots on untreated roadways.
Drivers should remain especially cautious on bridges, overpasses and shaded roads, where icy patches can be difficult to recognize.
Reduced visibility from patchy fog may also complicate morning travel in affected areas.
Sunday Morning Brings Another Risk of Slick Roads Sunday, November 15, could bring another round of patchy fog and freezing temperatures during the morning.
The National Weather Service warns that slick spots may again develop, making caution important for early travelers.
Conditions should improve as temperatures rise, with sunny skies and afternoon highs reaching between 50 and 55 degrees.
Warmer Temperatures Arrive Next Week By Monday, November 16, sunshine is expected to dominate the forecast, with afternoon highs climbing between 54 and 58 degrees.
Forecasters expect temperatures to increase approximately 3 to 4 degrees each day through much of next week, continuing the gradual warming trend.
While afternoons will become increasingly comfortable, residents should remain alert for potentially hazardous road conditions during the colder weekend mornings.
Motorists are encouraged to reduce speeds when encountering fog or suspected slick pavement and allow additional stopping distance.
