Warmer temps on tap this week, compered to this weekend..A weak cold front crossing the Ohio Valley arrives this afternoon from the northwest. With it, a few light rain showers effect mainly our northern & mountain counties into this evening. Lows tonight will fall into the low 40s across the lowlands with mid/upper 30s in the mountains. Tuesday, winds turn southwesterly and with mainly sunny skies, highs are expected to reach 67 degrees. But ya better enjoy it, because a well advertised sprawling trough will swing across the central US and across the east by Wednesday night. This system will bring more gusty winds & another hefty dose of rain into Thursday. Then cold air behind the front settle in to bring a changeover to wet snow and overnight lows below freezing in some spots. Weekend conditions will stay on the chilly side, so kids' costumes should include long sleeves...perhaps a mummy or a ninja or even a scarecrow with a flannel shirt are in order. You can leave the tutus & Taylor Lautner costumes in the bedroom!
