Louisville, KY – A messy wintry mix is expected to move into Kentucky and southern Indiana overnight, potentially creating slick spots for the Monday morning commute, especially along and north of Interstate 64.
According to the US National Weather Service in Louisville, a combination of freezing rain, sleet and light snow is expected mainly north of the I-64 corridor early Monday, March 2, 2026, before gradually changing to rain later in the morning. While warm ground temperatures should keep most main roads wet, bridges and overpasses could become slick for a brief period.
Forecasters say there is a 40% chance of a light coating of slushy snow along and north of I-64. More concerning is a 40% to 70% chance of a glaze of ice in the same areas, particularly in southern Indiana and north-central Kentucky, including parts of Jefferson County and the Louisville metro area.
Minor slushy snow accumulation is possible farther south into central Kentucky, though impacts there are expected to be limited. Confidence remains medium overall, with the greatest uncertainty focused on precipitation type between I-64 and the Western Kentucky and Bluegrass parkways.
Drivers are urged to allow extra travel time early Monday and use caution on elevated roadways. Conditions are expected to improve later in the morning as temperatures rise and precipitation changes to rain.
How much extra time are you planning to allow for your commute Monday morning?
