Forecast Discussion

Two fronts move through from the northwest in the next 24 hours: one Thursday evening, and another Friday morning. Showers taper off Thursday around sunset. Expect partial clearing tonight. Then a brief period of isolated showers or thunderstorms is possible Friday morning to early afternoon.

After early afternoon Friday, the story is drier air thanks to high pressure building into the Ohio Valley. We will have clearing skies, lower humidity, and pleasant temperatures. Lows Friday and Saturday night will be in the lower 50s and maybe even some upper 40s--we have not felt that in a several months. Dry weather holds into Sunday afternoon.

A third front arrives in a fast NW flow Monday. Ahead of that front, a few showers and thundershowers develop Sunday evening and Monday (mostly during the afternoon).

Tuesday and Wednesday, high pressure in the Great Lakes takes over with round two of pleasant, dry weather.
