Good morning, we are currently seeing temperatures near 40° this morning as we are off to another chilly start. Quiet weather will continue today with mostly sunny skies and high temperatures in the lower to middle 60s thanks to an area of surface high pressure to our north.

A weak shortwave trough will swing through the Ohio Valley this evening, but high pressure at the surface will keep us dry overnight. As the trough swings through we can expect a few more clouds overnight and temperatures will fall into the upper 30s.

Fri – Mostly Sunny; Warmer – High 70º / Fri Night – Mostly Clear; Cold – Low 47º

An upper-level ridge currently situated over the central U.S. will slowly shift eastward into our area beginning on Friday. This trough will help to usher in some warmer temperatures and keep our weather quiet.

Expect a beautiful day today with mostly sunny skies and a high near 70º. We can expect temperatures nearly ten degrees warmer tomorrow night with lows dropping into the upper 40s.

Sat – Mostly Sunny; Warmer – High 75º / Sat Night – Mostly Clear; Cold  – Low 48º

The combination of ridging at the upper levels of the atmosphere and surface high pressure at the lower levels will keep our weather beautiful on Saturday. While we’ve all been enjoying this gorgeous fall weather lately, us forecasters must admit that the weather has been a little boring.
