For the first time on Tuesday night, President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden meeting on stage to speak to voters and debate a number of issues ahead of the election. The two candidates discussed several topics touching on everything from Covid-19, the Supreme Court, race and crime as well as both President Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden's records.

There's no denying it was a chaotic night and at times debate moderator Chris Wallace was drowned out by the back and forth between the two. On Wednesday morning, University of Southern Indiana Political Science Professor Dr. Nick LaRowe joined 44News this morning to recap the first Presidential debate.

Sure, yesterday's passing cold front and lingering rainfall made for a cooler-than average, fall-like day across the Tri-State - today on the other hand, was a bit more summer-like. The core of high pressure flowing in behind that cold front has now settled to our east and is actively pumping southerly winds, more heat and gulf humidity back into the Ohio valley. As a result, temperatures pushed back into the mid 80s for the majority of the region; the added humidity even made it feel a few degrees hotter as well. As for the rest of the evening, conditions will remain dry with temperatures gradually falling from 80° around dinnertime into the mid to low 70s by 10PM. The combination of added cloud cover overnight and those aforementioned southerly winds will help keep temperatures mild tonight - we'll only dip as low as 67° early Friday morning in the River City.
