Kentucky – A cool breeze sweeps across the Ohio River this morning as sunlight spreads across downtown Louisville. Flags snap along the waterfront while commuters step into crisp air. The calm start will not last long. Gusty winds build today, and a dramatic spring shift arrives by Sunday with rain and a possible snow mix early Monday.
According to the National Weather Service in Louisville, a Wind Advisory remains active until 8 p.m., with west winds gusting near 37 mph across Jefferson County and southern Indiana. Drivers along I-64, I-65, and I-71 may notice sudden crosswinds, especially on elevated bridges over the Ohio River.
Temperatures rise steadily through midday, reaching 62 degrees under partly sunny skies. The breeze keeps the air feeling cooler despite the warming trend. Conditions calm tonight with mostly clear skies and lows near 37 degrees.
Saturday delivers a pleasant preview of spring across Kentucky and southern Indiana. Sunshine dominates with highs near 63 degrees, and lighter winds make outdoor plans comfortable.
Attention turns quickly to Sunday. Clouds thicken through the morning while southerly winds pull warmer air northward. Afternoon temperatures surge to 74 degrees, giving Louisville a brief burst of early spring warmth.
Rain begins developing later Sunday evening as a stronger system approaches the Ohio Valley. Showers continue into the night, and roads across Louisville could become slick during late evening travel.
Early Monday brings a sharp change. Colder air sweeps in behind the system, allowing rain to mix with wet snow before midday. Accumulation appears limited, but quick temperature drops could leave slushy spots on untreated roads.
Monday night turns sharply colder with lows falling near 18 degrees, raising the risk of flash-freezing on damp pavement.
Traveling Sunday night or early Monday? Plan extra time and watch for sudden temperature swings.
