LOUISVILLE, KY – If you were hoping for a smooth transition into spring, think again. Louisville is in for a wild ride this week, with rain, strong storms, gusty winds, and—believe it or not—a possible mix of rain and snow by Wednesday night.

Tuesday, March 5 – Warm & Wet with Storms Late

• High: 63°F (17°C)
• Low: 48°F (9°C)
• Scattered showers throughout the day
• Stronger storms possible at night

Tuesday will start off pretty mild, but clouds will stick around, and scattered showers will pop up throughout the day. Bring an umbrella if you’re heading out!

Storm Alert: Tuesday night could bring stronger storms.

• Heavy rain
• Gusty winds
• Possible thunder & lightning

What to do:
✔ Charge your phone in case of power outages.
✔ Secure outdoor items before the wind picks up.
✔ Check the weather before heading out—things could get messy.

Wednesday, March 6 – Windy & Getting Colder

• High: 59°F (15°C) (but dropping fast!)
• Low: 31°F (0°C)
• Winds pick up—gusts could hit 40 mph
• Morning showers, then drying out

Wednesday will start out rainy, but as the day goes on, the real story will be the wind and dropping temperatures.

Gusty winds will be strong enough to:
✔ Knock over trash cans and loose decorations
✔ Make driving tricky, especially on highways and bridges

If you need to be out and about, bundle up—it’ll feel way colder by evening.

Wednesday Night – Could We See Some Snow?

• Low: 34°F (1°C)
• Rain could switch to a mix of rain and snow overnight

As colder air moves in, the last of the rain could turn into a wintry mix.

Will it stick? Probably not. The ground is too warm for much accumulation.

But slick spots are possible, especially on bridges and overpasses. If you have to be out late or early Thursday, take it slow!

Thursday, March 7 – Colder but Clearing Up

• High: 45°F (7°C)
• Low: 28°F (-2°C)
• Cold start, but sunshine returns!

Thursday will feel much colder, but at least the sun will make a comeback. Bundle up in the morning—it’ll be chilly all day.
