A calm, partly cloudy sky over Louisville this morning will soon give way to one of November’s first big temperature swings — and maybe a few snowflakes before the weekend ends. After a stretch of mild, springlike days, a strong cold front is preparing to shove across Kentucky, bringing rain, gusty winds, and a taste of early winter.
Scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected through the early afternoon, mainly along the I-65 corridor. While storms should stay non-severe, brief downpours could slow travel across Jefferson and surrounding counties. Temperatures will surge into the mid-60s, with southerly winds gusting up to 25–30 mph, making the day feel mild yet unsettled.
Saturday looks bright and comfortable, with highs near 65°F, perfect for outdoor plans or fall cleanup. However, a dramatic shift arrives Sunday, when colder air surges south from the Great Lakes. Clouds thicken early, and rain returns by midday — then transitions to a rain-and-snow mix by evening as temperatures plunge into the upper 20s.
By Monday, highs barely reach the upper 30s, and a few lingering snow showers could dust grassy spots or overpasses. The chill holds through Veterans Day before gradual warming returns midweek.
For residents, this weekend marks a true weather whiplash — from short sleeves to scarves in less than 48 hours. It’s also a timely reminder that winter’s early signs are moving quickly into the Ohio Valley.
