Louisville, KY – A dusting of snow coated grassy surfaces and car windshields across central Kentucky and southern Indiana early Monday, with temperatures hovering near freezing and slick spots forming on untreated roads. Commuters across Louisville, New Albany, and Shepherdsville faced slippery travel and reduced visibility as light snow tapered through midmorning.
According to the National Weather Service in Louisville, up to a half inch of snow fell in some areas overnight, with most accumulation on elevated and grassy surfaces. North winds around 10 mph will keep conditions brisk through the morning before skies gradually clear and highs reach the mid-30s.
The region will enjoy a brief dry spell Tuesday with mostly sunny skies and highs in the mid-40s. However, another system could bring light rain or snow Wednesday into Thursday, followed by a sharp drop in temperatures. By late week, an Arctic front will sweep across the Ohio Valley, driving lows into the teens — and possibly the single digits by Saturday morning.
Forecasters warn that wind chills could fall below zero across portions of southern Indiana and north-central Kentucky. Residents are urged to protect pipes, pets, and outdoor plants, and check in on vulnerable neighbors as the cold deepens.
