LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Low clouds hang stubbornly over the city this morning, a thin mist beading across parked cars and damp sidewalks. The air feels cool and still, but sunshine will soon take control — kicking off a bright, comfortable stretch across the Ohio Valley as the first full week of November begins.
According to the National Weather Service in Louisville, a few light showers will linger early before skies begin clearing from west to east. Travel conditions will quickly improve across Jefferson, Bullitt, and Oldham Counties as drier air filters in by midmorning. Light winds and gradually brightening skies will make for a pleasant afternoon, with highs climbing into the upper 50s.
By Monday and Tuesday, a high-pressure ridge will strengthen over the region, bringing clear skies, calm mornings, and daytime highs pushing into the low 60s. It’s a golden window for outdoor chores, leaf cleanup, or early holiday decorating before clouds and a few late-week showers return Thursday into Friday.
NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center continues to track La Niña conditions expected to persist through winter, a pattern that typically favors mild spells followed by sharp cool-downs in the Ohio Valley. Long-range models already hint at that possibility closer to mid-November, with the first real cold push possible near Thanksgiving.
For now, it’s a classic early-November setup: damp streets, steady sunshine ahead, and a whisper of colder air waiting just beyond the horizon.
