LOUISVILLE, KY – Morning clouds stretched low over the Ohio River on this quiet October Saturday, a soft gray calm before the week turns wet. After a mild and mostly dry weekend start, a developing system will bring several rounds of showers to the Louisville metro through midweek — a steady prelude to Halloween week’s cool-down.
According to the National Weather Service in Louisville, Saturday will stay mostly cloudy but dry, with highs near 63°F and light east winds. It’s a comfortable day for outdoor errands, yard cleanup, or late-fall events before the weather begins to shift Sunday.
By Sunday afternoon, clouds thicken and scattered showers move in from the west, bringing a 50% chance of rain. The heaviest activity is expected Sunday night into Monday as moisture deepens along the I-65 corridor. Highs will hover in the low 60s both days, with periods of light to moderate rain possibly slowing the Monday morning commute.
Showers remain possible into Tuesday, tapering slowly through midweek as another system builds to the west. Although temperatures will hold near seasonal norms, the repeated rounds of rain will leave surfaces slick and soil damp — key considerations for fall planters or anyone preparing outdoor Halloween décor.
The back half of the week looks drier and slightly cooler, setting up what could be a crisp, calm Halloween Friday evening.
For now, enjoy the mild air while it lasts — after all, a chilly November lies ahead.
