DISCUSSION

Issued at 158 AM CST Tue Dec 9 2025

A return of southerly winds will bring much warmer conditions today into Wednesday. It will become breezy today as the pressure gradient tightens across our region between high pressure to our southeast and low pressure over the upper Mississippi Valley. South winds will increase to 12-25 mph with gusts of 25 mph to around 30 mph by this afternoon, persisting into tonight and shifting to the west and northwest Wednesday with the passage of a cold front. Small chances of light rain will accompany the cold front late tonight into Wednesday morning mainly from southwest Indiana into the Pennyrile region.

Models show a warm front lifting into our area Thursday, then low pressure moving along the front Thursday night into Friday. A few sprinkles or flurries are possible along Interstate 64 and across southwest Indiana Thursday into Thursday night. High temperatures Thursday will be colder, then we will see a brief warm up Thursday night and Friday until the surface low pushes on through our area. Behind the low, we will see a significant cool down for Saturday, then another cold front will move through our region Saturday afternoon into Saturday night. Small chances of light rain and/or snow will accompany this cold front, but any amounts will be minimal. The coldest air will follow this front, and lows Saturday night and Sunday night will be in the 10 to 20 degree range, with minimum wind chills of near 0 to around 10 degrees.

The model blend brings small precipitation chances back to the forecast Monday. There is quite a bit of variation in timing of this system between individual models, so confidence is low at this time. Temperatures will remain below normal.
