Sunny and cooler today
High pressure will pass overhead today, providing a brief cool down with fairly dry conditions prevailing through the day. A warm front will move north, crossing the area on Wednesday. This feature will bring a period of cloudiness followed by warming temperatures. Warm weather will then persist through the remainder of the week. There is a possibility of a few showers during the second half of the week, but the main threat for rain will remain to our northeast along a front which is expected to stall over the Ohio Valley.
Look for it to be sunny and 67 today, increasing clouds and 44 tonight, and mostly cloudy and 65 on Wednesday.
