It will not be as hot today. We’ll warm to 83 this afternoon under a mostly cloudy sky. Outside of the small rain chance at daybreak, we will have a relatively dry day and noticeably lower levels of heat.

While the drop in temperatures is a big part of the forecast story this week, so is the setup that is going to bring in multiple rounds of rain and storms to the Ohio Valley. Rainfall totals could be impressive by the end of the week with some locations recording more than 3-4″ of total precipitation.
