Thanks to the cold front that moved through the Tri-State Wednesday, we saw cooler, drier air for our Thursday, along with plenty of sunshine.
High temperatures were about five to six degrees below average for this time of year in the upper 70s and low 80s.
We also got a Drought Monitor update Thursday. While rain has been scattered this week, it did make a difference on drought conditons for the Tri-State. Communities that were seeing "Moderate Drought" last week, are now just seeing "Abnormally Dry" conditions this week.

Expect mostly a copy and paste of the weather conditions from Thursday to Friday.
Overnight, lows will drop to the upper 50s, paving the way for a high of 81 for Friday. Skies will remain mostly sunny throughout the day as well.
There is a chance some fog could impact the morning commute, especially for those driving into Cincinnati from Northern Kentucky.
Temperatures return to around normal for the weekend, with clear conditions expected, before rain chances return Monday.
