LOUISVILLE, KY – A low blanket of clouds settled over the Ohio River on a tranquil October Saturday, setting the stage for a wetter stretch ahead. After a mild and largely dry start to the weekend, an approaching system is poised to deliver multiple rounds of rain to the Louisville area through midweek—an early lead-in to a cooler pattern as Halloween approaches.
The National Weather Service office in Louisville expects Saturday to stay mostly overcast but dry, with highs near 63°F and a gentle east breeze. It’s a comfortable window for yard work, errands, or late-season events before the pattern turns damp.
By Sunday afternoon, thicker clouds arrive and scattered showers push in from the west, with roughly a 50% chance for rain. The most active period is anticipated Sunday night into Monday as moisture pools along the I-65 corridor. Highs will hold in the lower 60s both days, and light to moderate rainfall could slow the Monday morning drive.
Showers may linger into Tuesday, easing gradually through midweek while another system organizes to the west. Temperatures should hover near seasonal averages, but repeated bouts of rain will leave roads slick and soils soft—useful to keep in mind for gardeners and anyone setting up outdoor Halloween decorations.
The latter half of the week trends drier and a touch cooler, potentially paving the way for a crisp, quiet Halloween Friday evening.
Enjoy the mild stretch while it lasts—November’s chill isn’t far off.
