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.
