For the rest of the overnight, scattered showers are expected. Most of this will be light rain but an occasional moderate shower will be possible too.
Light showers will be on the radar Thursday morning. Winds will also be increasing tonight from the southwest at 10 to 20 mph.
Rain will be on the move through about 11 a.m. on Thursday as the cold front passes. After that, the day is dry with decreasing clouds. But this is NOT the story you should focus on for Thursday. The wind is the story. A high wind watch has been issued to the northwest already where wind gusts up to 60 mph will be possible. This includes Fayette and Union County (IN). For the rest of the Tri-State, the prognosis is sustained winds at 20 to 30 mph during the day with wind gusts up to 55 mph. This will be high enough to cause tree limbs to come down and lead to some power outages. The NWS has also issued a WIND ADVISORY for Thursday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. due to these high wind concerns across the rest of the Tri-State.
An additional chance for precipitation is on the horizon for Friday and it looks like a rain/snow mix chance, leaning more toward snow late in the day. But I will say, the morning models came in with almost no precipitation with this system for Friday, so we'll have to watch and see what's going on as it may be shifting to a drier day.
