It will remain cool despite the sunshine with highs holding in the upper 40s. Clouds will move in late in the day and increase through the night. Some light rain will develop from south to north after midnight.

As temperatures fall through the night, the rain may mix with or briefly change to snow across the northern Miami Valley. Little, if any snow accumulation is expected, and precipitation should change back to light rain before tapering off late morning. Temperatures will reach into the middle 40s midday but then fall quickly into the 30s toward evening.

Wrap-around moisture moving in Friday evening will allow for some light snow showers or flurries to develop and linger into Friday night. Some flurries will remain possible early Saturday with temperatures plummeting into the 20s. While sunshine will return Saturday afternoon, temperatures will struggle to get out of the middle 30s.
