Louisville woke to a mostly cloudy 73-degree start Friday, but the warmth is on borrowed time. A cold front will bring light rain showers through early afternoon, followed by falling temperatures and a distinctly cooler weekend.
Rain First, Then A Fast Temperature Drop
Light rain showers are expected between about 7 a.m. and 2 p.m. Friday, with a 30% chance of exceeding 0.1 inch of precipitation. Temperatures are expected to fall through the afternoon, according to the National Weather Service.
Gusty Winds Could Complicate The Commute
Northwesterly winds could bring gusts of 25 to 30 mph Friday. Rainfall should be light for most locations, but wet roads and a quick cooldown could make the morning-to-afternoon transition feel rougher than the forecast numbers suggest.
Sunny Saturday, Frost Risk Sunday Morning
Friday night will turn mostly cloudy with a low near 43. Saturday brings sunny skies but a high only around 56, while clear conditions Saturday night could send temperatures down to about 37 and create frost in colder spots early Sunday, a sharper turn than the warm pattern outlined in Thursday’s Hoodline forecast.
Warmth Returns Next Week
Sunday should stay sunny with a high near 64, followed by highs around 69 Monday and 72 Tuesday. Dry weather is expected over the weekend and next week.
