FORECAST DISCUSSION:

Happy Monday!

We are off to a beautiful start to the workweek, after our first 80°+ day of the year on Sunday! Expect mainly sunny skies in the city, with highs in the mid to upper 70s. We’ll see a few more clouds out the farther south you get, as we’ve got a frontal boundary stalled near the Ohio River. That will bring an isolated shower chance this evening for those far southern areas.

For Tuesday, we start the day dry, and we warm back up into the middle 70s. We’ll then see a few spotty showers working in during the mid-afternoon timeframe. Far from a washout, but I would keep the umbrellas handy just in case you get caught in one of those.

Wednesday will be our wetter day, with light showers during the morning, then rain and thunderstorms on tap during the afternoon and evening. We’ve got a lower-end severe threat for Wednesday, and that is something we will be watching. Temperatures stick in the mid 70s through that point.

By Thursday, we start to dry out, with highs falling back to the upper 60s behind a cold front. We’ll see partly cloudy skies before clouds return into Friday.

Expect a few more spotty showers Friday, before we dry out and cool off going into the weekend.
