The clouds have been persistent for much of the day today and the rain is starting to move them. Showers have moved in from the east through the evening, but haven't quite made it to the I-75/I-71 corridors just yet. That is more likely after midnight, and it will likely be around for the morning commute for some as well.
Overnight showers will start to fizzle as they move farther west, so not all of the Tri-State will see soaking rain. The best rainfall will be east of the city into areas of southwest Ohio. These areas could see near a half inch. Areas to the west will be lucky to just see a tenth.
Temperatures overnight will be into the low 60s. Wind will be from the north around 3 to 6 mph. Showers will greet us out the door, but they will start to taper into the middle of the day. This is all from the same area of low pressure will still be over our area. When it's not raining, the sky will be mostly cloudy with highs in the mid 70s and a northwest wind at 5 to 10 mph.
The evening should be predominately dry on Friday, but we can't rule out the chance for an isolated shower or two. I would take a poncho to the Great American Ball Park if you're heading out to catch the red hot Reds host the red hot Braves.
9 FIRST WARNING: We are keeping an eye on Sunday for the potential at strong storms. Right now, the SPC has the threat just to our west, but we will have to watch this as it develops. Keep checking back for the latest details as we get closer! #WCPO @WCPO #OHwx #NKYwx #INwx pic.twitter.com/LRQIqBtp8v

Good news for the weekend! Rain chances continue to look lower. Saturday's rain chance is now down to 30% or less with a few isolated showers or storms. These will be very isolated. Sunday's forecast will be dry to start, but we will have a better chance for rain coming in late that evening with our latest cold front. That rain could also be part of a line of storms, which have potential to be strong, maybe severe. We will monitor that threat and keep you updated as we get closer.
