Kentucky – A crisp, quiet start settles over Louisville this morning, with cool air and damp ground creating a brief window where slick spots could form on bridges and shaded roads.
According to the National Weather Service, temperatures sit near 36°F with light northeast winds and clear visibility across Jefferson County. Wind chills hover near 30°F, keeping that early bite in the air for commuters along I-64 and I-65. Conditions improve quickly as sunshine strengthens through late morning.
Temperatures climb steadily, reaching near 59°F by afternoon. The warm-up accelerates into midweek. By Wednesday, highs rise to 71°F with partly sunny skies and light winds, offering a comfortable stretch for outdoor plans.
The real shift arrives Thursday. Highs surge to 84°F, pushing well above seasonal averages. South winds increase slightly, and humidity begins to build. That warmth sets the stage for a more active pattern by late day and into the evening hours.
Rain chances increase heading into Friday. Showers become likely by the afternoon, with a 70 percent chance and periods of steady rain. Wet pavement and reduced visibility could slow travel on I-264 and I-71. Plan extra time and keep headlights on.
Behind the system, temperatures drop sharply. By Friday night, readings fall into the low 30s, raising concern for refreezing if roads remain damp into early Saturday.
