A weak cold front will drop down across the region tonight. This could lead to a few light rain showers this evening, mainly along and north of the I-70 corridor. A better chance for precipitation will develop as we head into next week.

[8:48 PM] We continue to monitor a line of storms moving across Indiana, which will move into our counties over the coming hours. While a weakening trend is expected, cannot rule out isolated strong/severe storms in our far west.
