Clouds have thinned some today allowing a nice bit of sunlight through. Where this has happened, temperatures have warmed into the upper 50s, 60s, and even the low 70s. Cloud coverage is thicker the further north you live. These areas are also the most likely to see measurable rainfall. The MaxTrack is picking up on light rain showers mostly north of the Ohio River.
Cloud coverage remains overhead today with a few thin spots or even a little clearing. Rainfall is located where the thickest of the cloud coverage is, north of the Ohio River.
