Bottom Line: Some clouds and a slight chance for showers. Then, the sun's back by Thursday.
Details: We have a very quiet weather pattern continuing right through the weekend. However, first we'll see a few weather changes for the next 24 hours. There's a cold front that will shoot through the area during the day and bring some clouds and a chance for showers. The best chance for a few sprinkles/showers will be early during the morning hours. But, it's only running at about 30 percent. Temperatures will stay cool in the low 50s.
On Thursday, high pressure will clear us out and keep the sun around through the weekend. Temperatures will go on a warming trend by Friday. I'm looking at highs in the 60s by Saturday. If you're heading to the Bengals game on Sunday, the weather looks terrific. Sunny with highs in the low 60s.

Fewer daylight hours and cooler weather often mean that we spend more time inside during fall and winter. While heating and cooling account for more energy use than other household activities, small appliances and lights still add to home energy costs. Last year, Ohio residents spent 201 dollars on energy for home lighting.
Viewer Tip: The Alliance to Save Energy estimates that replacing the four most-used traditional light bulbs in your home with compact fluorescent bulbs (CFLs) can save the typical Ohio household 120 dollars over the lifetime of the bulbs! While CFLs are generally more expensive at the time of purchase, they last about eight times longer than traditional bulbs.
