Overnight will be mild, only falling into the mid 30s, while we hold onto more cloud cover through the early morning hours on Wednesday. If we see a little bit of clearing then we might see some patchy fog develop as winds stay calm around 3 to 5 mph from the south. That isn't a widespread concern.

Wednesday will be another mostly cloudy day as a new area of low pressure moves into the Ohio Valley. This will produce a few light, scattered showers. This is just the appetizer to a bigger rain chance later this week. Temperatures Wednesday will be climbing all day, warming into the upper 40s by evening and into the low 50s around midnight into Thursday. Winds will be around 10 mph from the south.

Thursday is the day that rain makes a statement and impacts travel and outdoor plans. Expect to see some soaking showers for the start the day, potentially impacting your drive into work. We may also see some additional rounds of rain will persist throughout the day that have a few thunderstorms embedded in them as well. Temperatures will be at their warmest of the week, climbing to 57°.

The cold air will come in late in the day Thursday changing left over precipitation over to some snow. Right now, it looks like any snowfall accumulation will be minimal, as moisture content looks low. However a dusting to a half in is possible into early Friday. Highs on Friday will only reach the mid-30s. By the weekend, we'll see some clearing allowing sunshine to return. It doesn't last as the clouds are back for Sunday.
