KENTUCKY AND SOUTHERN INDIANA — A Frost Advisory has been issued for the early morning hours of April 6, 2026, as temperatures are expected to drop low enough to create frost across a wide portion of the region.
Cities including Louisville, Lexington, Bowling Green, and surrounding communities are all within the advisory zone, where clear skies and calm winds will allow temperatures to fall near or just below freezing by sunrise.
Widespread Frost Expected Across Central and Eastern Kentucky
The advisory covers a large portion of Kentucky, stretching from western areas near Bowling Green through central cities like Lexington and into eastern communities including Pikeville and Hazard.
Under these conditions, frost is likely to form on exposed surfaces, especially in rural and low-lying areas where temperatures tend to drop more quickly overnight. Even urban locations such as Louisville and Lexington could see patchy frost, particularly in areas away from city centers where heat retention is lower.
