Kentucky starts the morning wrapped in mist, with fog blurring taillights and damp streets reflecting city glow. The air feels mild now, but this quiet setup hides a sharper winter turn that could complicate weekend and end-of-year travel.
According to the National Weather Service in Louisville, patchy fog and light rain linger early, with visibility reduced at times across Jefferson County and along I-64 and I-65. Temperatures rise into the upper 60s today, keeping conditions mostly rain-based while roads stay slick.
Saturday offers a brief break. Clouds hang tough, but travel conditions improve as rain tapers and temperatures climb into the low 60s. That pause ends late Saturday night. Showers return, then grow more widespread Sunday as a stronger system moves through central Kentucky.
Rain becomes steady Sunday, with occasional heavier bursts that could slow traffic across Louisville, New Albany, and southern Indiana connections. Plan extra time if traveling Sunday afternoon or evening. Wet pavement and low clouds may reduce visibility during peak holiday return hours.
Colder air pushes in quickly Sunday night. Temperatures fall into the mid-30s, and rain may mix with or briefly change to snow before ending. While significant accumulation looks unlikely, leftover moisture could freeze by early Monday, raising black ice concerns on bridges and overpasses.
Monday stays colder, with highs near the mid-30s and brisk northwest winds. The chill lingers into midweek. By Tuesday night, lows dip into the 20s, reinforcing a winter feel as New Year’s Eve arrives Wednesday night. Current signals suggest dry but cold conditions for celebrations heading into 2026.
Drivers should stay alert, slow down in fog and rain, and watch for slick spots after dark. Winter travel season is ramping up fast.
