KENTUCKY – A stormy Saturday lies ahead for Louisville and central Kentucky, bringing heavy rain, gusty winds, and isolated thunderstorms before a crisp, sunny Sunday clears the air.
According to the National Weather Service in Louisville, showers will begin Saturday afternoon and become widespread through the evening. Some storms may bring gusts up to 30 mph, with heavier downpours possible along I-64 and I-65. Though severe storms are not expected, travel could slow due to reduced visibility and ponding on roadways.
Residents planning fall events, festivals, or football games should keep rain gear handy and secure loose decorations ahead of the gusty weather. Avoid parking in low-lying areas, and use extra caution if driving during heavier rain. The storm system will push east by early Sunday, allowing skies to clear rapidly.
Sunday brings the return of classic fall conditions—sunny, breezy, and much cooler. Highs will only reach the mid-60s, making it a perfect day for pumpkin patch trips or leaf-viewing drives through Jefferson and Shelby counties. Monday continues that trend with sunshine and light winds before another weak system introduces scattered showers early next week.
This weekend marks a quick transition from wet to wonderful across Kentucky. Saturday may be soggy, but Sunday offers the kind of crisp, golden weather fall fans wait for.
