Louisville, KY – Residents across Kentucky and Louisiana are being advised to brace for rounds of showers and thunderstorms Wednesday, September 24, 2025, with the potential for strong to severe storms in some areas.
According to the National Weather Service (NWS), storms in Kentucky will continue through the evening, with gusty winds posing the greatest threat. Localized heavy rainfall is also possible, particularly in southern counties. Hazards include damaging winds, lightning, torrential rainfall, and a low-end risk of a brief spin-up tornado.
In Louisiana, NWS Shreveport reports that a cool front moving across the region will trigger widespread thunderstorms, mainly south of the I-30 corridor. The highest rainfall chances—above 80%—are forecast in central and southern parishes, with flooding risks where storms repeatedly track over the same areas. Potential hazards include localized flash flooding, downed trees, and power outages.
Both states are under a marginal risk for severe storms, with confidence in strong storms considered low but not negligible. Travel may be disrupted due to ponding on roads and reduced visibility during heavy rainfall.
Officials urge residents to monitor weather updates throughout the day, avoid flooded roads, and secure outdoor items that could be blown by strong winds.
