Louisville, KY – The National Weather Service in Louisville is warning residents to brace for bitter cold early this week, with wind chills expected to drop near zero both Monday and Tuesday mornings.
According to the US National Weather Service Louisville, gusty winds and frigid temperatures will make conditions feel blustery across much of central Kentucky through Tuesday. Areas along and north of I-64, including Louisville, Elizabethtown, and Lexington, could experience minimum wind chills between -5°F and 5°F.
The forecast calls for overnight lows Sunday into Monday between 14°F and 20°F, with highs Monday only reaching the mid-20s under breezy conditions. By Tuesday morning, wind chills are expected to dip into the single digits before daytime temperatures rise into the upper 20s and lower 30s.
Dry weather is expected through Tuesday before a system brings a mix of rain and snow showers late Wednesday into Wednesday night. The weather service advises residents to dress in layers, cover exposed skin, and limit time outdoors during early morning hours when wind chills are lowest.
No major precipitation or ice accumulation is forecast during the cold spell, but forecasters warn the sharp temperature drop could affect morning commutes and outdoor workers.
For real-time updates, residents are encouraged to monitor the National Weather Service Louisville and local emergency alerts.
