Louisville, Ky. – Drivers in Louisville may face slick spots early Sunday as scattered showers and thunderstorms move across Jefferson County, especially along I-64, I-65, and I-71. Rain is expected to taper off by afternoon, but wet pavement could create hazards for morning churchgoers and early travelers.
According to the National Weather Service in Louisville, storms are most likely before 11 a.m. with a 40 percent chance of rain. Clouds will gradually clear by late afternoon, allowing highs to reach near 89 degrees. Calmer conditions return overnight with lows in the upper 60s.
Monday marks a shift to sunnier skies and rising heat. Temperatures will climb near 91 degrees with light winds and minimal cloud cover. The trend continues into Tuesday and Wednesday, with highs pushing into the lower 90s. These summerlike conditions may strain outdoor workers and those without air conditioning as fall heat lingers.
Residents are urged to hydrate, limit strenuous outdoor activity during the peak afternoon sun, and check on vulnerable neighbors. Clear skies also mean warmer road surfaces, so drivers should remain alert for heat-related stress on vehicles, especially during long commutes.
The next notable chance for rain does not arrive until late Thursday, when a weak system could bring isolated showers. Until then, Louisville faces a stretch of dry, hot afternoons under mostly sunny skies.
