Our streak of bright blue skies and comfortably warm temperatures is ending today, as the clouds are increasing ahead of a cold front.  The front will move through tonight, and until it is east of us… we’ll continue to have the chance of rain.

This morning, there has been an ongoing complex of thunderstorms to our west.  You can see it working across Indiana at about 9am:

That area of rain will continue to weaken as it moves into our more stable/drier airmass.  But it looks like we could see some rain in the western Miami Valley after 11am or so.  Another shot of thunderstorm activity will be possible as we head into the later afternoon/evening hours.   But it looks like the severe weather threat will be limited, as the morning rain will help stabilize our atmosphere. 

The front will be through by Thursday… so it looks like we return to dry, warm weather.  But not for long!  Remember a couple of blogs ago, I mentioned the possibly REALLY cool weekend?  It still looks like it could happen.  Showers are possible both Friday and Saturday, with highs in the 70s.  One particular model has Sat. only in the upper 60s!  The reason… an area of low pressure sitting over the Great Lakes:

850mb temps on Saturday could only be in the single-digits (in degrees Celsius)  That will be quite the refreshing air show forecast!  Hopefully the clouds/rain won’t hold back any of the flying…
