Central Kentucky residents can expect persistent rain showers through Thursday morning, with the heaviest precipitation occurring early. Showers will gradually taper off this afternoon, giving way to partly cloudy skies by the evening. Those traveling on major roadways, including Interstate 65, should prepare for reduced visibility and slick conditions due to the wet weather.
According to the National Weather Service in Louisville, temperatures on Thursday will range from the low to mid-60s, with a high near 65°F by midday. Although isolated thunderstorms are possible across the region, particularly in southern Kentucky, significant weather disruptions are not anticipated. Tonight’s lows are expected to dip to around 44°F as skies clear, with light winds shifting northward.
