After upper 70s to lower 80s today, temperatures will be back into the 60s for Thursday.Since the front will move through at a decent clip, rainfall totals aren’t expected to be especially heavy, forecasters wrote in. Widespread amounts of about a half-inch are expected for most of the region before the front pushes east by Thursday evening.

As it sweeps across the region, a few showers may develop, especially east of the Interstate 71 corridor, forecasters said. The other feature of Friday’s cold front will be breezy conditions. Wind gusts around 25 mph or higher will be possible across the area on Friday before dying down behind the front Saturday morning.
