Louisville, Kentucky – A stretch of cold winter weather is expected to impact communities along the Indiana–Kentucky border late this week, bringing near-teen overnight lows and a chance of snow that could create slick travel conditions through early next week. Overnight temperatures are expected to fall to around 11 degrees, with daytime highs remaining well below normal.
According to the National Weather Service, an arctic air mass will settle over the Ohio Valley from Saturday through Tuesday. Periodic disturbances moving through the cold air could produce scattered snow showers, while gusty northwest winds drive wind chills into the single digits and below zero at times, especially overnight and during the early morning hours.
Border areas including southern Indiana and north-central Kentucky — such as Clarksville, Jeffersonville, New Albany, Louisville, and surrounding counties — could see light snow accumulations and icy patches. Roads including Interstate 65, Interstate 64, Interstate 71, and untreated secondary routes may become slick during snow showers or when temperatures drop quickly overnight.
State and local emergency officials urge residents to limit unnecessary travel during snowy periods, dress in warm layers, and ensure vehicles are winter-ready. Homeowners should protect exposed pipes and check heating systems as the cold deepens.
Cold conditions are expected to persist through Tuesday, with additional winter weather advisories possible if snow coverage increases.
