LOUISVILLE, Ky. –

Temperatures will be milder on Wednesday, but prepare for a dip.

Wind gusts will initially be between 35 and 40 miles per hour on Wednesday as a strong cold front moves closer to the region.

As the front moves through we will be looking for light rain and snow showers before temperatures drop sharply into the 20s on Thursday morning.

Wind chills will be in the single digits.

The biggest concern is the impact of the journey on motorists, as isolated slippery patches could arise overnight.

Temperatures will remain well below normal for the rest of Thursday, with highs above 20 degrees but feeling closer to the teens.

Things will get warmer heading into the weekend, with highs climbing back into the 50s early next week.
