Louisville, KY — Cooler and sunnier weather settles into central Kentucky and southern Indiana today following the recent passage of a dry cold front. The National Weather Service in Louisville reports that skies will remain mostly sunny, with afternoon highs ranging from the lower to mid-50s across the region. Northwest winds between 10 and 15 mph will keep the air feeling crisp throughout the day.
Overnight conditions will trend colder, setting up a chilly Monday morning. Many locations are forecast to drop below freezing, with lows in the upper 20s to lower 30s. Monday itself will remain dry and cool, featuring highs again in the 50s. Light winds and mostly sunny skies are expected, though clouds may gradually increase late in the day as the next weather system approaches from the west.
Rain is expected to return to the region on Tuesday, with widespread light to moderate rainfall likely by early afternoon. Forecast guidance shows the highest rain chances—generally 70 to 90 percent—between Tuesday afternoon and Tuesday night. While thunderstorms are not expected to be widespread, forecasters note there is a small chance of an isolated rumble of thunder, particularly across western and south-central Kentucky as moisture and instability increase.
Travel impacts from Tuesday’s rainfall appear minimal at this time, though brief periods of reduced visibility and wet road conditions may occur during heavier bursts of rain. Cooler and more stable air should return by Wednesday, with another stretch of dry weather anticipated through the end of the workweek.
Residents are encouraged to take precautions during Monday morning’s freeze, particularly those with sensitive plants or exposed plumbing. For those planning outdoor activities today or Monday, expect pleasant but cooler conditions with abundant sunshine.
