We're starting our Friday off with a bit of a mess out there for some Tri-Staters!!

Most of us are walking out the door to mostly cloudy conditons, but several communities are dealing with heavy rainfall. Those conditions put some of our areas under a Flash Flood Warning: Spencer, Perry, and Hancock Counties. We will begin to improve through the morning, but scattered shower chances will fire off and on Friday afternoon. High temperatures are expected to top out in the mid 80s.

Tonight, we'll dry off with partly cloudy skies. Low temperatures will dip down in the high 60s. The Tri-State is expected to hang on to the dry conditions through Saturday with mostly sunny skies. Temperatures will be a bit warmer and humidity levels will still be on the higher side. High temps will top out into the high 80s. Unfortunately, rain chances are expected to return Sunday with highs near 84°.

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.
