We have had a very warm start to the month of February and it will only be getting warmer from here. Temperatures this afternoon reached the low to mid 50s for much of the Tri-State and we will continue to warm as we head into the end of the week.

Clouds built up across the Tri-State this evening. Because of those clouds and the southerly winds we will only fall into the upper 30s overnight, with a low of 39° in Cincinnati. For comparison, Our average low temperature for February 8 is 24°.

Thursday's forecast will be mostly cloudy but it will be even warmer! High temperatures will jump to a high of 60°. Winds will come in from the south at 15 to 20 mph. There will be more cloud cover through the middle of the afternoon and that leads to a threat of showers.

It's later Thursday evening that we should see isolated showers moving in from the west. This will start as early as 7 p.m. in southeast Indiana and then slowly pushes east overnight. But it's isolated; there will be towns that don't see a drop of rain.

Despite the isolated showers Thursday night, we won't see a huge impact to the conditions during the day Friday. The sky will be mostly cloudy and we'll warm to the low 60s! The majority of Friday's forecast will be dry. It will be a great day to get outside.

A cold front will pass through the Ohio Valley on Saturday and this should bring in more clouds and scattered showers. The best chance is currently in the morning hours but we'll need to keep an eye on this timing.
