Jeffersonville, IN / Louisville, KY – A thick layer of morning fog rests over the Ohio River, softening the city skyline and slowing the early commute along I-64 and I-65. The damp chill in the air won’t last long. By midmorning, sunlight will pierce through, beginning a stretch of warm, dry weather that lasts until Thursday — before a sharp Friday storm system brings rain and possible travel delays.
Through Wednesday and Thursday, temperatures climb into the upper 60s and low 70s, unseasonably mild for early November. Winds turn southerly, drawing in moisture ahead of the incoming front. It’s prime weather for leaf cleanup, outdoor work, or early holiday prep before the pattern turns unsettled.
Clouds increase late Thursday, and by Friday, a line of showers and thunderstorms will cross the lower Ohio Valley. Rain could be locally heavy, and gusty winds may accompany the front during the afternoon and evening. Those planning Veterans Day weekend travel should stay alert — especially across central Kentucky and southern Indiana — as roads may turn slick and visibility could briefly drop.
By Saturday, skies clear and cooler air filters in, with highs settling in the lower 60s. Sunday turns seasonable and bright, though another cool-down looms early next week as northern air pushes southward.
It’s a reminder that while this week feels like late fall’s encore, winter isn’t far behind — and November’s pattern shifts can come quickly. For now, enjoy the warmth, but keep umbrellas handy by week’s end.
