Rain Chances Increasing

Have you been able to get outside and capitalize on this spell of nice weather? We hope so. It's going to be rather gray and damp for the next several days. Steadier rain will be arriving later Wednesday and will be with us on-and-off through Thursday. Friday will be milder with a few breaks in the clouds, although showery weather will still be a threat. Weekend weather will turn chilly again with the 's' word popping back up.

Forecast Discussion

Our air mass has been moderating steadily since Saturday, and this trend levels off some tonight with only a passing threat for a late sprinkle.

Low pressure organizing over the southern Plains on Wednesday will track into the Ohio Valley by Friday as a cold front whips through the region. Steadier rain will arrive by late Wednesday or Wednesday night, continuing on Thursday. Showers (maybe even a thundershower) will be possible on Friday in the unseasonably mild air ahead of the front.

Weekend weather will be progressively chillier as an upper level low pressure system tracks by just to our north. In fact, it will get cold enough by Saturday night and Sunday for snow showers, even down to the 3,000 foot level in elevation.
