11:00 pm Update: Enjoy the warm weather while it lasts. A blast of fall is coming for the weekend. Mostly clear skies are noted on the satellite map just west of Interstate 71. that clearing is moving our way. So, that means clouds should decrease for a while overnight with evening temperatures in the upper 60s & lower 70s. Mainly clear to partly cloudy skies will be the rule tonight with low temperatures dropping back to between 55 & 60 degrees.

Cold front arrives Friday morning. Skies will be mostly cloudy with a few isolated morning rain showers possible. I think the bulk of the rain will come in behind the cold front, during the afternoon and evening. Keep an eye out for scattered rain showers during those Friday night high school football games! Friday's high temperatures will top out in the lower and middle 60s by early afternoon. But, then, I would expect them to drop back well into the 50s by the afternoon rush hour.

Saturday looks chilly. Highs will range between 50 & 55 degrees. Skies will be partly sunny. There will likely be a few showers around during the day.

Saturday night brings more widely scattered rain showers and low temperatures in the 38 to 43 degree range. The air will be cold enough Saturday night, that any rain showers could spit out a wet snowflake or a few ice pellets. Most of you will NOT see any snow or ice this weekend. Best chance will be over higher elevations.

Sunday will be the coolest day of the weekend. High temperatures will struggle to reach 50 degrees. Lake effect rain shower are possible. I can't rule out ice pellets or wet snowflakes mixing in to any rain shower, especially over higher elevations during the morning hours.
