Louisville, KY – Kentucky residents should prepare for a rainy and chilly Thanksgiving, with temperatures dropping sharply as the weekend approaches. Forecasters warn of unseasonably cold conditions and possible snow showers Saturday night, particularly for those traveling along the I-64 corridor.
According to the National Weather Service (NWS) in Louisville, rain will move into the area this afternoon and continue overnight. Up to half an inch of rainfall is expected before it tapers off to light drizzle early Thursday morning. Thanksgiving Day will remain cloudy and damp, with highs around 46 degrees.
By Friday, temperatures will plummet, with highs in the upper 30s and overnight lows dipping into the teens. Saturday brings a slight chance of snow showers, with temperatures struggling to reach the mid-30s during the day.
Residents planning holiday travel should exercise caution, particularly Saturday evening when roads could become slick from possible snow or icy conditions. The NWS advises monitoring weather updates closely and allowing extra time for travel, especially in the mornings when temperatures will be at their lowest.
Looking ahead, the five-day forecast predicts mostly sunny skies Sunday and Monday, but temperatures will remain frigid, with highs in the low 30s and overnight lows near 19 degrees. This cold spell underscores the importance of bundling up and winterizing homes and vehicles.
