Kentucky starts this Saturday with a pale, frosty glow over Louisville as a light breeze carries cold air across damp sidewalks and quiet neighborhoods. The sky looks unsettled, hinting at shifting conditions that could complicate post-Thanksgiving travel later today. Drivers heading across I-65 or the Watterson should prepare for weather that changes quickly through the afternoon.
Temperatures hover in the upper 30s early, but clouds build steadily as moisture lifts north from Tennessee. Meteorologists now track an early Winter Tease forming in the Ohio Valley. Models hint at a slight snow chance before midday, followed by a possible changeover to a rain–and–snow mix during the afternoon. Even with surface temps near 40°, brief flakes may survive in heavier bursts. Watch for slick spots on shaded bridges and higher ramps, where cold air lingers longer.
By late afternoon, the atmosphere grows more saturated, pushing precipitation chances toward 70–90% into the evening. To be fair, most of the system should fall as rain, yet a few heavier bursts could mix wet flakes into suburban areas east and south of the city. Conditions may deteriorate quickly after sunset, especially where drizzle and colder pavement meet. Keep coats and umbrellas ready if you’re running errands or returning from post-holiday travel.
Sunday brings scattered showers early, then breezy clearing with highs near 41°. Monday turns mostly cloudy with a renewed chance of rain and snow showers, and temperatures dip into the mid-20s that night. Tuesday stays partly sunny in the low 40s, and Wednesday brings highs near 40 with calmer winds.
National outlook maps continue to signal below-normal temperatures from December 2–6, suggesting deeper cold pushing toward the Ohio Valley next week. That colder push may support additional early-season snow chances.
