A warm front is pushing through the Ohio Valley and has brought in a few light showers for parts of the Tri-State. The rain chances should continue to remain minimal, but the big deal with the front is the warmer weather it ushers in.
It will be a much warmer overnight due to that new air mass and a south wind at 5 mph. Our low temperatures will only be around 51° tonight. That would be the warmest low temperature since last week Thursday (October 5).
The remaining clouds overnight should fade away and we should see plenty of sunshine as we go into Thursday. It will also be a much warmer day for us. Highs should climb into the upper 70s for most communities, and a few could even make the 80s. Our forecast is for 78°.
Friday starts off very similar to Thursday with warmer temperatures and another sunny start. By the afternoon we will see clouds increase as our next chance for rain sneaks in later in the day. Our next cold front will move in late Friday and Ahead of it we will see the potential for some showers. Temperatures for the afternoon will be into the mid to upper 70s with a strong south wind at 10 to 15 mph. Rain is possible as early as 5 p.m. Friday evening and continue throughout the rest of the evening and overnight. There could be a few isolated storms as well. This could impact our Friday night football games. The best shot at rain will be during the overnight hours.
The weekend will be cloudy, breezy and cool with occasional showers. Rain chances are best on Saturday as spotty light rain passes through the Ohio Valley. Temperatures will be in the low 60s. It will be a breezy day as well with gusts from the west at 25 to 30 mph. An isolated shower or two will also be possible for Sunday with clouds and a high of only 57 degrees.
