LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WAVE) – Temperatures will have a steady drop this evening into the upper teens to lower 20s, then slowly rise into the overnight hours through daybreak. Clouds will also increase with a dry forecast expected for the overnight.
A challenging setup for the morning hours as a mix of snow and/or freezing rain could briefly take place mid to late morning Wednesday. If this develops, watch for slick spots, especially on bridges & overpasses.

A mix of sun and clouds on Thursday. Highs in the 30s and 40s.
Very cold temperatures return on Friday with a dry forecast. That cold sets the stage for a winter storm to cause big problems in the region over the weekend into early next week.
