Louisville, KY – Residents in Kentucky and southern Indiana should prepare for light snow Thursday night into Friday morning, with potential minor travel impacts. The National Weather Service (NWS) warns that a quick-hitting system will bring flurries and a light dusting of snow, particularly along elevated surfaces, creating slick roadways during the Friday morning rush hour.
According to the NWS in Louisville, the snow is expected to begin late Thursday night, with a 40% chance of precipitation after midnight. Accumulations are forecasted to remain light, generally under an inch, but drivers on roadways like I-64 and I-65 should remain cautious. Winds from the northwest could reach 20 mph, further reducing visibility in some areas.
The extended forecast suggests improving conditions by Friday afternoon as skies clear, with a high near 35 degrees. Friday night will bring colder temperatures, dipping to around 19 degrees. The weekend is expected to be mostly sunny, with highs near 31 degrees Saturday and potential snow showers returning Sunday night into Monday morning.
Travelers are advised to allow extra time Friday morning, especially if driving early. Officials encourage residents to monitor updated forecasts and use caution on untreated roads.
Stay prepared for changing conditions as temperatures fluctuate this week, with lows reaching the teens and highs barely climbing above freezing.
