Forecast Discussion

Sunny skies continue today with a high in the mid-70s. Cloud cover will begin to increase tonight and throughout the day tomorrow due to an influx in tropical moisture from Hurricane Isaias. For HOUcoming festivities, temperatures will remain in the mid-50s and 60s for the morning, with temperatures warming into the 70s for game time! After the game, chances for rain will increase as the remnants of Isais approach the Ohio Valley region. This will bring widespread showers and a potential thunderstorm overnight Saturday and throughout Sunday. Precipitation totals range between 1 and 1.5 inches at this time, and the WPC has Athens county under a Marginal Risk (level 1 out of 4) for excessive rainfall throughout the weekend. For more information about the potential impacts from the remnants of Isaias, check out my special update technical discussion.

After Isaias exits, high pressure will dominate once again to start the work week dry and allow for clouds to decrease Monday into Tuesday.
