Louisville, Ky. – A quiet Mother’s Day for much of Kentucky could turn soggy by evening, with isolated showers developing across south-central portions of the state before nightfall. By late tonight, rain chances rise sharply, setting the stage for a stormy start to the workweek.
According to the National Weather Service in Louisville, scattered rain showers will increase across the region after sunset Sunday, with more widespread showers and thunderstorms likely by Monday morning. Temperatures will remain mild, ranging from the low 60s overnight to highs in the upper 70s Monday afternoon.
Cities such as Bowling Green, Campbellsville, and Somerset are likely to see early rainfall tonight, with heavier storms spreading north toward Louisville, Elizabethtown, and Frankfort through Monday. These storms may bring periods of heavy rain, gusty winds, and localized ponding on roadways during commutes.
By Tuesday, slow-moving storms will persist, especially in central and eastern Kentucky, where repeated rounds of rain could raise minor flood concerns. Residents east of I-65 should remain alert into Wednesday, though conditions are expected to trend drier midweek.
Storm chances continue through Wednesday afternoon, and additional advisories may be issued as the pattern evolves. Travelers and residents are encouraged to monitor local alerts and limit outdoor plans during peak storm periods.
