A cold front and associated area of low pressure will move through the Ohio Valley as we close the week. Briefly warmer air will surge north into the region Thursday and Friday with temperatures flirting with 80° both days.
Moisture levels will also increase as dew points creep up closer towards 60°.
A weakening area of rain and embedded storms will rumble into the state late Friday and Friday night. Widespread severe weather isn’t expected but the Storm Prediction Center outlines the far western portion of the state in a marginal risk, primarily for a wind threat. We still bracket 0.25” to 0.75” rain potential.
Speaking of wind, non-thunderstorm gusts towards 30 MPH can be expected Friday and Saturday.
With the cold core upper low hanging around, additional spotty showers, mixed with graupel, can be expected over the weekend into early next week.
The theme over the next couple weeks is for cooler than normal conditions to dominate overall.
