We had a gorgeous day on Thursday and we have more where that came from on the way for Friday. Thursday felt more like mid-September than mid-October.
Overnight will be uneventful. Temperatures will be into the low 50s, maybe a few upper 40s, and mostly clear skies. Winds from the northeast will be around 5 to 10 mph.
Friday will be nearly a repeat performance, as we see mostly sunny skies and warmer temperatures. The evening is the only difference. Rain chances will pick up as we move into the evening and overnight hours. High temperatures will be back into the upper 70s. It's after 5 p.m. that clouds start to build and then we'll get into the chance for scattered showers and isolated storms mainly after 7 p.m. The better chance for showers, maybe even a few storms, will be after 10 p.m. We aren't completely in the clear for Friday night football games, so keep checking back for the latest on this rain arrival.
The rain coming in Friday night is from a cold front passing through the Ohio Valley. It will usher in much colder air for the weekend and for much of next week's forecast too. Temperatures will only hit 65 on Saturday early in the day with a cloudy sky and occasional, light showers. The wind will shift from southwest to west northwest on Saturday driving in that cooler air and a few isolated showers. Wind gusts could be as strong as 25 to 30 mph at times. Clouds are likely to linger into the afternoon.
Sunday will be much cooler with a high of only 56°. It is the clouds and wind which will make it feel much cooler. With those clouds could be some isolated showers through the midday, coming from the north. Winds will stay breezy for Sunday, gusting at 25 to 25 mph. Wind chills will be a thing during the first half of the day. It will be a damp and dreary kind of day.
