Air quality continues to be a big story in the Ohio Valley as we head into the weekend.
We’re under an Air Quality Alert again for Friday. And the Southwest Ohio Air Quality Agency has extended this alert through Saturday and Sunday too.
Temperatures start in the mid 50s and we’ll warm to 79 this afternoon. The sky will be sunny but it will still look hazy due to the wildfire smoke. Humidity is still very low and not an issue.
Saturday starts with temperatures in the mid 50s and once again, we are looking at few clouds and hazy sky conditions. We’ll warm to 84 for a warmer day.
Sunday is when rain comes into the picture as the next area of low pressure comes into the Ohio Valley. Isolated showers will begin in the early afternoon hours ahead of the warm front. Temperatures warm to the low 80s. It’s after 5 p.m. that scattered showers will spread across the area as the warm front arrives and that continues into the overnight hours. Rain will wrap up early Monday morning.
