A lovely, warm Spring morning is set for the area as temps only fall to the low 60s for daybreak.
We get even warmer for Thursday than yesterday. Wednesday's high hit 80 ° But afternoon highs move highs by 3-5°. In fact, the record is 90° from 1959. We'll likely fall short, but it'll feel summerlike with afternoon highs in the mid 80s. Our average afternoon high is 71°
The next rain maker is taking shape to move into the Tri-State fore Friday. We should start the day with scattered showers as the low pressure system moves into the Ohio Valley. We'll see spotty chances throughout the day with a few thunderstorms moving through as well. Nothing will be severe. The rain should keep our high temperatures a bit cooler in the mid to upper 70s.
Saturday's forecast will be mostly cloudy and while there is a rain potential, it looks like the better chance will be later that afternoon and into the overnight.
This means that the morning runs for the Flying Pig 5K and 10K should be dry. Something we will keep watching because we could see a chance for Sunday morning's Flying Pig Marathon and Half Marathon. Meteorologist Brandon Spinner has a breakdown of the forecast for race weekend, here.
