Question
Hello!
I am getting married outside on Oct 22 2011 in Louisville KY (40204). I am wondering what history has to say about the date Oct 22 as far as the weather goes. What avg highs/lows can I expect... and most importantly, based on years past in Louisville, what are my odds of rain on this day?? Thanks!

Answer
Hi Gaelyn,

The normal high temperature that day in Louisville, KY is 66 and the normal low temperature is 46. The all-time record high temperature for that date is 88, set in 1947. The all-time record low temeprature for the date is 23, set in 1952. Typically, during the latter part of October, it rains about once every three or four days.
I hope this helps.

Sincerely,

Dave Dombek
