Louisville, KY – An Arctic Blast is expected to settle over Kentucky from Monday, Dec. 1 through Friday, Dec. 5, bringing a cold start to December with falling temperatures, breezy conditions, and light snow or flurries.
The National Weather Service reports that early-week disturbances tied to the Arctic air mass will produce a mix of light snow and flurries Monday night into Tuesday. Accumulations are expected to be minor, but slick spots may form during early-morning travel.
Forecast Highlights:
-
Temperatures: Highs in the 30s, lows in the 20s; teens possible in northern and elevated counties.
-
Winds: Gusty northwest winds will make conditions feel colder, particularly overnight and early mornings.
-
Snow: Light snow and flurries possible Monday night into Tuesday; additional flurries may occur later in the week.
NOAA’s 6–10 Day Outlook places most of Kentucky in a below-normal temperature zone for Dec. 1–5, reflecting the Arctic push across the Midwest and Ohio Valley. While no major winter storm is expected, residents should be aware that colder temperatures, gusty winds, and occasional snow could impact travel, particularly north of the Western and Bluegrass Parkways.
Kentuckians are advised to monitor local forecasts as the state experiences a colder, more winterlike pattern for the first week of December.
