Louisville, KY – Kentucky wakes under clear skies and crisp air as faint light brushes across frosted lawns, offering a quiet start before clouds surge in and build toward a wetter Tuesday. Pavement remains dry now, but an unsettled pattern prepares to tighten its grip on Jefferson County just as early Thanksgiving travel begins.
According to the National Weather Service Louisville office, increasing clouds arrive fast today as moisture deepens from the southwest. Showers should redevelop later this evening, with patchy drizzle reaching I-64 and Bardstown Road first. Travelers should plan for wet pavement, slower traffic and brief visibility drops during passing bursts.
According to forecasters, Tuesday brings the steadiest rain with highs near 58. A few rumbles may form south of the city, though widespread severe weather looks unlikely. Even so, new rainfall between a tenth and three-quarters of an inch may create ponding and scattered slick spots during the late-morning commute. Keep devices charged, allow extra time and monitor changing conditions near major corridors.
According to emerging guidance, Wednesday trends mostly cloudy with a weaker shower chance toward evening. Temperatures hold near the low 60s, supported by steady southwest flow. The setup offers a mild November stretch, though models hint at a cooler pattern late next week that could introduce a distant Winter Tease north of the Ohio River.
According to early weekend projections, Louisville trends drier Friday and Saturday with comfortable afternoons for leaf cleanup and early holiday decorating. Travel conditions should improve across most of Kentucky, though pockets of rain may linger east toward the Appalachians.
