Unseasonably warm today. Areas of heavy rain tonight into Saturday.
 
Warm temperatures this afternoon and evening will be accompanied by scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms across the Mid-Ohio Valley, with mainly dry weather further south. Heavier rainfall is possible tonight through Friday night, as a cold front drifts slowly southward and stalls across the area, providing for rounds of additional showers and isolated thunderstorms, with some high water issues possible. The front lifts north of the area Saturday morning, before a cold front pushes through in the afternoon. Shower activity will diminish later Saturday, with dry weather forecast for Sunday. More rain chances, and possibly some mountain snow, are anticipated for early next week.
