HALL ON FERN VALLEY ROAD. NOW YOUR WLKY WEATHER WITH CHIEF METEOROLOGIST JAY CARDOSI. Definitely nice to have milder weather here, at least for a short while. It’s nice out there at the moment. BUT THIS WILL ALL COME TO AN END. AFTER MIDNIGHT TONIGHT AS THE NEXT BATCH OF COLD AIR COMES IN. BUT HEY, TODAY FOR THE FIRST TIME IN A LONG TIME 53 IS ABOVE AVERAGE, THE AVERAGE HIGH IS 50. NOW WE STARTED WITH 25 AND HAVE MADE A FEW JUMPS IN THE CITY. At the moment it is a clear 49 degrees. The humidity is half a hundred, the southwest wind here is between 10 and 20 miles per hour. So I’m going to take you through your evening and it’s looking pretty good now. The clouds are gradually increasing, but it looks rather dry. Most of us will stay in our 40s. THE MID TO UPPER 40S. BUT BUT, IT’S LATER TONIGHT. THEN THE CHANGE IN THE RADAR SCAN SOLUTION WILL WORK IN THE METRO AND SURROUNDING REGIONS. Our communities in the far southeast are still experiencing light rain. THIS IS GREENE COUNTY, TAYLOR COUNTY, NEAR CAMPBELLSVILLE, GREENSBURG TO COLUMBIA. IN ADAIR COUNTY YOU MAY SEE A FEW showers moving through the water and these will completely move out of sight within the next 30 minutes or so. NOW CONTINUE NORTH. The cold air really accumulates there. This is a big, large storm system taking shape here in the Great Lakes region and southern Canada and moving east. BUT THE COLD FRONT, WELL, IT WILL BE MOVING DOWN ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY A LITTLE LATER TONIGHT. And this thing really has some teeth. THESE ARE THE CURRENT WIND COOLINGS BEHIND THIS ARCTIC FRONT. WE ARE NOW TALKING ABOUT WIND COOLING VALUES WELL BELOW ZERO. We could get closer to zero as long as the wind stays cool for a while tomorrow morning. I don’t think it will be quite that cold. BUT folks, it’s going to be pretty cool weather tomorrow, even into the afternoon. YOUR FUTURECAST NOW, THE NEXT HOURS LOOK SO GOOD. Well, after midnight, boy, here comes the Arctic front as it moves through. The wind will change direction, a few showers will be possible, perhaps briefly changing to a little light snow. I don’t expect any buildup. I think the roads will be fine, but it’ll be tomorrow morning. We expect clearing skies. It will be quite windy. IT’S GOING TO BE MUCH, MUCH COLDER. Take a look at your wind chill tomorrow morning. TEMPERATURES WILL LIKELY FEEL TEMPERATURE. In many, many places there are single digit numbers close to zero. ALSO HERE IN THE SUBWAY WE’RE FLIRTING WITH FIVE DEGREES OR SO, AND I THINK THAT TREND WILL STAY FOR MOST OF THE MORNING. By midday we will still have cold temperatures around ten degrees. NORTH OF THE OHIO RIVER SINGLE NUMBERS AND CLOSE TO TEN AGAIN AS THEY CLOSE TOWARDS THE SOUTH, IT WILL BE JUST A LITTLE MODERATE TOMORROW AFTERNOON, BUT EVEN WITH THE BRIGHT SUNSHINE EXPECTED ON THURSDAY, WE WILL BE WELL BELOW AVERAGE LYING . Remember, I only showed you this average value of 50. Not even realizing that in some cases it is 25 degrees below average. HIGH IN THE MID AND UPPER 20S TOMORROW. See you here on subway 28. LET’S START WITH THE FORECAST. SOME CLOUDS AND BREEZE BUT NOT BAD AT ALL. TONIGHT. 40s. BUT THE SEVERE COLDER AIR WILL ARRIVE AFTER MIDNIGHT. YOUR DETAILS 12 HOUR FORECAST. IN ORDER. THERE IS IT FOR TOMORROW. MID-20S, BRIGHT AND EARLY. I think we’ll settle back down to around 7pm by late morning. Wind chills will be in the single digits during the morning hours. LOTS OF AFTERNOON SUNSHINE, BUT WARMING HAS NOT CONTINUED IN THE MID AND UPPER 20S. YOUR THREE DAY FORECAST? WE’LL BE 35 ON FRIDAY, AFTER A MORNING START OF 18. THEN WE’LL COME OUT OF 48 DEGREES FOR SATURDAY. Boy, that’s still a good sign that Louisville’s festivities are lighting up. Nice afternoon. AS WE TURN THE SWITCH ON SATURDAY EVENING, A LOT OF SUNSHINE WILL DOWN INTO THE 30’S AND YOU CAN SEE THE 50’S, EVEN CLOSE TO 60. COME BACK SUNDAY AND MONDAY. THERE IS ANOTHER CHANCE OF RAIN SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY, BUT THE WEEKEND IS LOOKING PRETTY GOOD NOW. THROUGH THIS LITTLE COLD SEASON 60, 60

Today’s milder weather will be short-lived as another shot of very cold air moves into the region late Wednesday evening and into Thursday. An arctic cold front will sweep across our area, bringing us some of the coldest conditions of the season so far. Cold temperatures combined with gusty northwest winds will bring bitterly cold wind chills in the single digits to near zero Thursday morning. Even with plenty of sunshine Thursday afternoon, temperatures will remain very cold, only rising into the mid to upper 20s as wind chill values ​​ease only slightly into the low to mid teens. The good news: This cold blast will be relatively short-lived as milder weather will return for the weekend and Light-Up Louisville.
