Dodging scattered rain chances to start the weekend

Rain in West Carrollton (IWItness7)

DAYTON — Good afternoon to you on this Friday. Meteorologist Nick Dunn here on what has been a decent day overall with a good amount of sunshine. Temperatures are near 80 across the Miami Valley, which is a bit below average for late August.

Tonight features a small chance of a stray shower before sunset in particular. This will not washout any plans you have, but you may dodge a random shower here or there. Lows will drop into the middle 60s.

Saturday gives the best chance of rain this weekend. This is associated with a cold front moving through. These showers and storms will not be like previous rounds of rain in that the coverage looks scattered.

A spotty strong storm or two with strong winds and small hail is possible, but most storms will be just your ordinary summertime storms.

Behind the cold front we find highs into the middle 70s for Sunday with temperatures more typical of September. A spotty shower or two is possible, but most will again be dry.
