Louisville daily local headlines: Wintry mix, Broadway season, WFPL schedule update

Commute watch: wintry mix early Monday

Louisville is starting the week with a quick-hit round of wintry weather. Forecasts call for a messy mix developing after midnight, with the greatest risk for slick spots arriving right when people are heading out the door for the Monday morning commute—especially on bridges, overpasses, and other elevated surfaces.

The forecast looks most complicated along and north of the I-64 corridor. Light slushy accumulation and a thin glaze of ice are possible early, before temperatures rise. As readings climb later in the day, the mix is expected to transition to plain rain.

If you’re on the road before sunrise, build in extra time and keep an eye out for isolated slick patches in the usual trouble spots. Even a small amount of ice can make ramps and elevated roadways feel very different from neighborhood streets.

Arts and culture: Broadway season details land

The 2026–2027 PNC Broadway in Louisville season is out, and the lineup leans on a blend of new-to-Louisville titles plus a couple of big returning favorites. For theatergoers who like planning ahead, season-ticket details are already moving for renewing subscribers.

New subscriptions are expected to open to the public in early April, putting spring on the calendar as the next key moment for anyone who wants to lock in seats for the full run of shows.

Notable season highlights

• Louisville premieres include Maybe Happy Ending, Death Becomes Her, BOOP! The Musical, Hell’s Kitchen, and A Beautiful Noise: The Neil Diamond Musical.
• Returning favorites include Jersey Boys and Disney’s The Lion King.
