Kentucky — A gray sheet of low clouds hangs over the Ohio River at daybreak, softening the skyline and dimming the last of the overnight lights along I-64. The air feels mild for mid-November, but the breeze carries a subtle shift—an early sign that a more unsettled pattern will build as Thanksgiving travel begins to ramp up.
Today brings partly sunny skies and temperatures rising into the mid-70s, unusually warm for the season. Winds increase through the morning, gusting near 30 mph at times, especially on open roadways and river bridges. Residents planning outdoor cleanup or local errands should take advantage of the warmth while keeping an eye on changing conditions.
A 30% chance of showers may develop late this evening as a weak disturbance approaches. Rain should remain light and brief, but any pockets of drizzle could make early travel slick on secondary roads. Skies clear toward Sunday morning as cooler, drier northwest flow returns.
Sunday turns seasonable with sunshine and highs in the upper 50s, a noticeable drop that signals the broader November transition. After sunset, winds calm and skies turn mostly clear, setting up a crisp fall night ideal for holiday decorating or evening gatherings.
Monday starts quiet and comfortable with highs in the mid-50s, though clouds increase through midday. By late evening, the National Weather Service Louisville indicates an 80% chance of rain, and models hint that showers may expand rapidly after midnight. Travelers heading toward Cincinnati, Nashville, or Indianapolis should prepare for slower conditions late Monday and early Tuesday.
Tuesday remains wet and cooler, with another round of showers likely as the pre-Thanksgiving storm track strengthens across the central U.S. No snow is expected yet, but the colder air later next week could bring a Winter Tease.
