Louisville is starting Thursday under cloudy skies and temperatures in the low-to-mid 60s, but the gray start should not last all day. Areas of mist and drizzle are expected through sunrise, followed by partial sunshine and an afternoon high in the lower 70s.

Drizzle Fades As Afternoon Skies Brighten

Areas of mist and drizzle may continue through sunrise. The overnight flow is light north-northeast, shifting east later in the morning. According to the National Weather Service Louisville office, clouds should gradually break during the afternoon, and no watches, warnings or advisories are listed for the local forecast area.

Cool, Clear Nights Set Up A Sunny Weekend

Tonight should turn mostly clear, with temperatures falling to around 51. Friday will be sunny with a high near 75, followed by lower-50s lows Friday night along the I-65 corridor and points west.

Saturday and Sunday are shaping up to be mostly sunny, with highs near 75 both days. Overnight lows should stay comfortably cool, near 54 Saturday night and 51 Sunday night, making for an easy weekend forecast for outdoor plans.

Warmup Arrives Before Midweek Showers

Monday brings more sunshine and a high near 78, followed by a warmer Tuesday with temperatures reaching about 84. The latest outlook extends the forecast into a wetter Wednesday, with some chance of precipitation and another high near 84 — a modest update from Wednesday's earlier week-ahead forecast.
