You're starting dry this afternoon and tonight with sunshine and clear skies, and Wednesday looks pleasant too. The main rain event arrives Friday, when the official forecast calls for rain showers likely (73% chance) — models back that up with widespread chances developing through the day. Saturday has a 43% chance of scattered showers, but models suggest most spots stay dry that day. Dry stretch returns Sunday into early next week.
Issued Sep 29, 6:33 AM
This afternoon and tonight you're looking at beautiful weather—sunny skies, calm winds, and temperatures climbing to 77 degrees before dropping to 55 tonight. The surface high pressure parked right over us is keeping everything stable and dry. One heads-up: patchy dense fog could form tonight even away from the river valleys because dewpoints have crept up while the air's still calm and clear. That's a classic fog recipe—cool, moist, still air.
What's driving this pattern is a ridge of high pressure, that bulge of warm air aloft that's amplifying and pushing warmer air into the Ohio Valley. The jet stream, that river of fast air around 30,000 feet, is staying northwest of us for now, keeping the moisture and rain chances just out of reach. Wednesday stays nice with partly sunny skies and an 81-degree high. But here's the catch—that ridge is going to weaken and eventually flip into a trough (the opposite: a dip of cooler air aloft) by Friday. When that happens, the jet stream and its associated moisture will swing right over us.
Rain chances look likely to arrive late week and continue through the weekend, though the details are still shaping up. What's notable about this particular system is that while we'll see rain, the thunder chances appear limited—meaning it won't be a severe weather situation, just a wet spell after a genuinely nice stretch. By early next week, things should trend drier again as that trough moves east.
Rain looks likely by Friday as a trough pushes through. Thunder chances appear limited with this one.
Fri
A warming trend builds through Thursday, with the warmest day of the week likely arriving then.
Wed–Thu
Rain chances could linger into the weekend, gradually tapering from north to south through Saturday and Sunday.
Sat–Sun
Sunny and pleasant this afternoon with temps climbing to the upper 70s. Tonight stays clear and comfortable, dropping into the mid-50s.
Tomorrow
Partly sunny and warmer, pushing into the low 80s. Still dry with no rain in the picture.
