LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Rain streaks down windshield glass and clings to fallen leaves this morning as a soggy system sweeps across the Ohio Valley. Pavement glistens under streetlights, and umbrellas are the morning’s best accessory — but relief is on the way.
According to the National Weather Service in Louisville, showers will continue through early Thursday before giving way to clearing skies and much drier air. Winds will shift northwest by midday Thursday, ushering in a cooler, more stable pattern for the end of the week. Highs stay in the 50s, while nighttime lows dip into the low 40s, cool enough to bring that late-fall edge back to the air.
Friday — Halloween — brings a welcome break from the drizzle. Skies turn mostly sunny, and highs near 58°F will make for perfect trick-or-treat conditions. By evening, temperatures settle into the upper 40s across Jefferson, Bullitt, and Oldham Counties, cool enough for layers or light jackets under costumes. Winds remain light, keeping pumpkin displays and decorations steady through the night.
Saturday and Sunday stay mainly dry, with only a small chance for light showers brushing far western counties late in the weekend. Highs in the upper 50s and lows near 40°F make for ideal cleanup or outdoor event weather.
As clocks fall back early Sunday at 2 a.m., sunset creeps earlier — and so does that first real sense of November’s chill. Early next week looks calm but cooler, a sign winter isn’t far behind.
