Louisville, KY – A powerful winter storm is forecast to bring 3–6 inches of snow across southern Indiana and central Kentucky starting today. Hazardous travel conditions are likely, especially along major routes such as I-65, as snow begins mid-morning and intensifies through the evening.
According to the National Weather Service (NWS), the storm will peak tonight, continuing into early Saturday morning. Snowfall totals could reach up to 6 inches in areas near the Kentucky-Tennessee border, with localized amounts slightly higher. Those traveling should expect moderate to major impacts, including slippery roads, limited visibility, and potential closures.
Residents are urged to avoid unnecessary travel during the storm and to prepare for delays if commuting. Local officials recommend keeping emergency kits in vehicles and checking weather updates before heading out. Snow will taper off by Saturday afternoon, but freezing temperatures will linger, increasing the risk of icy roads through the weekend.
Looking ahead, cold conditions will persist across the region, with daytime highs in the low 30s and nighttime lows dipping into the teens through Tuesday. While no additional storms are expected early next week, untreated roads could remain slick.
Stay informed with frequent updates from the NWS and plan ahead to ensure safety during the storm.
