Louisville, Kentucky – Scattered rain showers and increasing winds are expected across the Louisville area today, with a chance for flurries or light snow developing late tonight as a second cold front moves through the region.
According to the National Weather Service in Louisville, rain showers will continue through the afternoon and evening Saturday ahead of an approaching cold front. Winds are expected to shift to the west-northwest later today, with gusts between 20 and 30 mph, creating breezy conditions and potential travel impacts on exposed roadways.
Forecasters say a second cold front will arrive late tonight, bringing colder air into central Kentucky. As temperatures drop, scattered snow showers or flurries are possible after midnight, though not everyone will see snow. A few locations could receive a quick dusting, especially on grassy surfaces and elevated areas, but widespread accumulation is not expected.
Overnight temperatures are forecast to fall into the upper 20s to near 30 degrees, which could allow untreated roads and bridges to become slick in isolated spots if snow develops. Motorists traveling late tonight or early Sunday morning are urged to use caution and monitor conditions.
Sunday will remain breezy, with lingering morning flurries possible before conditions gradually improve. Daytime highs are expected to reach the mid-30s, keeping temperatures below normal for mid-January. Skies are forecast to clear by Monday, with sunshine returning and highs warming into the 40s.
The National Weather Service advises residents to stay updated on local forecasts, especially those with overnight travel plans or early morning commutes.
This weather pattern may be especially relevant for shift workers and Sunday morning travelers across the Louisville metro area.
