Showers and scattered thunderstorms will become prevalent this afternoon across most of the area as our storm system continues to track southeast into western Ohio by Sunday morning. The system will still be close enough Sunday that scattered showers and thunderstorms are still expected. Most of next week will be dry. There will be a warming trend with highs reaching the mid to to upper 80s on Tuesday and Wednesday. A cold front comes through Thursday but is expected to be dry as it comes through. Cooler temperatures will prevail for several days following that cold front.
