Louisville, KY – A cold front arriving Monday evening will bring frigid temperatures and light snow showers to the Louisville area, creating hazardous conditions early Tuesday.

According to the National Weather Service in Louisville, highs on Monday will peak at 35°F before temperatures plummet overnight to as low as 8°F. Light snow showers are forecast late Monday night into Tuesday morning, with potential accumulations of less than an inch. Drivers are advised to exercise caution on roadways, as icy patches may develop.
By Tuesday, temperatures will remain cold, with highs struggling to reach 30°F. Gusty winds may lead to wind chills near zero. The region could experience additional slick spots, especially along highways and bridges.
