Louisville, Kentucky – Drivers across central Kentucky and southern Indiana may face hazardous travel conditions overnight and through Wednesday morning as patchy, locally dense fog settles across the region. Low visibility could cause sudden slowdowns, especially on roads near rivers, lakes, and in neighborhoods hit by rain late Tuesday.
According to the National Weather Service in Louisville, areas most at risk include metro Louisville, Lexington, Elizabethtown, Bowling Green, and stretches of southern Indiana from Paoli to Madison. The thickest fog will likely linger through sunrise, potentially persisting a few hours longer in valleys or along waterways. Officials urge motorists to use low-beam headlights, reduce speed, and allow extra time for their morning commute.
Fog-related visibility changes can be unpredictable. Avoid unnecessary overnight travel, especially in rural areas and near water, and make sure your headlights and taillights are clean and working. Expect possible delays for early buses and school traffic.
Conditions should steadily improve by late morning, but additional advisories may be issued if fog persists or redevelops. Stay tuned for updates from local agencies.
