Scattered showers and thunderstorms are set to impact the region this afternoon, particularly affecting areas south and east of Interstate 77. Although there will be breaks of dry weather interspersed, the afternoon and evening of Friday will see these slow-moving storms potentially leading to localized heavy rainfall which raises concerns about flooding.
Current forecasts suggest that rainfall amounts could be significant, and weather enthusiasts should keep an eye on the LIVE radar for updates. Luckily, the chance of rain diminishes as we transition into the weekend, but some isolated showers may still appear on Sunday due to a low-pressure system moving through the Ohio River Valley.
Temperatures are expected to remain in the mid-70s throughout the weekend, with a welcome drop in humidity, making the conditions more pleasant. The start of next week will see temperatures remaining about five degrees below the seasonal average, bringing a cooler weather pattern.
