Forecast Discussion
A front crossed the Ohio Valley today on its way across the Southern Appalachians this evening. Being on the south/warmer/more humid side of the front, we still have to keep the slight chance of a thundershower in the forecast through midnight.
Drier air filters in tonight leading to a more pleasant Friday with the front well to our south. You'll feel the lower humidity; however, temperatures will not be much cooler.
It is the end of July; so, less humid will not last for long. This weekend the front edges north as a warm front from the southwest. Expect mostly cloudy skies Saturday and Sunday with scattered showers and thundershowers. Isolated heavy rain is possible especially Saturday afternoon and Saturday night.
Monday will be drier as high pressure nudged out of New England into the Southern Appalachians--only isolated afternoon thundershowers here. A couple more concentrated periods of storminess could occur later Tuesday into Wednesday as thunderstorm clusters ride southeastward out of the Ohio and Tennessee Valleys.
