Some sun will work in later this afternoon and it should be another nice sunset.FRIDAY: A nice seasonable day with afternoon sunshine. Watch for some shallow ground fog early. A great evening to catch some high school football!FRISATURDAY: The next cold front is on the way and there may be a shower as early as early afternoon. The showers are most likely during the evening and overnight.SATSUNDAY: The front is long gone and this day looks nice! It will be cooler with highs in the 50s.SUNNEXT WEEK: It looks like a string area of low pressure will track through the Midwest Wednesday into Thursday. Showers are likely Wednesday and there might even be a thunderstorm. Tree-stripping winds seem likely as well. Trees will be a lot more bare by the end of the week.WEDSThe month looks to end on a chilly note.KYNG_2015102200_min_max_16

A cloudier day as a cold front slowly slides through. This front will be pretty moisture-starved so we should not see much more than very spotty showers.
