Kentucky heralds the arrival of spring, bringing with it a noticeable shift toward milder conditions. Daytime temperatures frequently settle between 45°F (7.2°C) and 60°F (15.6°C), while nighttime lows hover from 30°F (-1.1°C) to 45°F (7.2°C). Compared to
February, the atmosphere starts to lose its chill, especially in the southern regions. In the northern parts, cooler conditions persist, although the difference in temperature between the north and south starts to diminish.
March doesn't usually set temperature records in either direction but serves as the kickoff for the wetter part of the year.

The average precipitation goes beyond the levels seen in the winter months, making it one of the wetter periods of the year. Snowfall is generally scarce, contributing minimally to the annual totals.
Louisville and Lexington continue to follow similar climatic arcs, though Louisville, closer to the Ohio River, may experience slightly higher humidity levels. Both cities witness the melting of any lingering snow and the return of more outdoor activities.
In contrast to February, where snow can still be a common sight, March leans more toward rainfall. It serves as a prelude to
April, which continues the warming trend and brings more consistent rain showers. Overall, March in Kentucky is a transitional month, characterized by ascending temperatures, fluctuating weather patterns, and an increasing amount of rainfall, signaling the true commencement of spring.
