Louisville, KY – Kentucky could see its first snow of the season later this week as colder air sweeps into the region, following rain and thunderstorms early in the week. The National Weather Service predicts a mix of rain and light snow beginning Wednesday night, with falling temperatures increasing the likelihood by Thursday.
According to the National Weather Service in Louisville, rain is expected tonight, with thunderstorms possible before Tuesday morning. Highs will reach the low 70s Tuesday, but a strong cold front will bring a sharp temperature drop starting Wednesday.
