Louisville woke up Thursday to light rain, fog and temperatures around 70 degrees, with visibility reduced in spots. The damp start will give way to a warm afternoon, but scattered showers and thunderstorms could interrupt the day before a sharp cooldown arrives Friday.
A Dense Fog Advisory remained in effect through 8 a.m. Thursday, with visibility potentially dropping to one-quarter mile in parts of the region. The National Weather Service advised drivers to slow down, use headlights and leave extra distance between vehicles.
Afternoon Storms Could Bring Gusty Winds
Clouds and patchy fog may linger through the morning, with occasional showers possible before storm chances increase between about 2 and 5 p.m. Thursday’s high is expected to reach 84 degrees, and rainfall totals will generally stay light, although a few downpours could produce heavier rain. The main severe-weather concern is strong, gusty winds rather than tornadoes.
Friday Turns Breezy And Much Cooler
A cold front will move through early Friday, bringing a chance of rain showers before 11 a.m. and a high near 63 degrees. Southwest winds could gust as high as 25 to 35 mph, with temperatures falling toward a low near 43 Friday night.
The weekend will feel more like October, with sunny skies and a high near 57 Saturday. Clear skies and a low around 37 Saturday night could bring frost concerns, followed by sunny, milder weather Sunday and Monday.
