Louisville, Kentucky – A quieter and drier winter pattern is expected to hold across Missouri and Kentucky during the January 10–14 period, keeping rain and snow chances limited and reducing the likelihood of travel disruptions across the region.
According to the National Weather Service Climate Prediction Center, much of Missouri and Kentucky is favored to see below-normal precipitation during the 6–10 day window, while temperatures trend near to slightly above seasonal averages. That combination limits storm development and reduces opportunities for widespread rain or snow.
Across Missouri, including St. Louis, Columbia, Jefferson City, and Springfield, long dry stretches are expected, with only isolated light rain possible if weak systems brush the area. Snow chances appear minimal, with surface temperatures generally too mild to support accumulation. In Kentucky, including Louisville, Lexington, and Bowling Green, precipitation chances remain low, with any wintry mix risk confined to brief overnight periods, mainly in eastern or higher-elevation areas.
Road conditions are expected to remain favorable for most of the period, with little risk for widespread slick spots. Early morning fog or patchy moisture could still develop at times, especially near rivers and valleys, but major travel impacts are not anticipated.
Overall, the pattern supports below-average precipitation and low-impact winter weather. While short-term changes remain possible, no widespread rain or snow alerts are currently expected as the January 10–14 timeframe approaches.
