Thursday started with showers across the Tri-State and it's nice to see the radar estimates coming in over .40" for most of the Tri-State. It has been 15 days since Cincinnati had seen more than a "trace" of rainfall.
While there is still a chance for an isolated shower in the early afternoon hours, most of us are done with rainfall today. Clouds are going to decrease and temperatures will end up near 70 degrees by the peak evening drive. Traveling conditions will be much improved compared to this morning.
Friday will be warm and windy. Temperatures will jump back to the low 80s tomorrow thanks to a breezy southwest wind at 10 to 20 mph. And there is a chance of rain that we need to add to the forecast. The weather models over the last 36 hours have increased the rain potential and the timing aligns with something so many of us look forward to at the end of the week: Friday night football.
Here's a look at the latest futureview for Friday evening. As you'll notice, scattered showers and isolated storms are possible.
Rain is likely Friday night into Saturday morning. It looks like rain should be around Saturday morning but then fade as we approach the noon hour. Saturday will be mostly cloudy and cooler with a high of only 70 degrees.
