Yeah, it's coming our way.

Just a leftover shower or two for most of tomorrow afternoon.Rain totals: A variance in the models but I would expect an average of 0.50-0.75".ModelRainWEDNESDAY: A quiet day locally with some sunshine and mild temperatures. But a healthy low pressure system will be deepening across the middle of the country.wedspmWarm, moist air will be drawn northward and a very Spring-like clash of the air masses will occur, leading to a severe weather outbreak.DAY3THURSDAY: Luckily we do not have to worry about severe weather here. That said, Thursday will be a windy day with showers around, especially during the first half of the day.thursamWhile the strongest winds will be in western Ohio, we can still expect some gusts to 35-40 mph across the Valley.WINDTHURSLONG RANGE:In the wake of the cold front, a chilly end to the week (windy again Friday) and weekend. But the pattern does not support sustained periods of cold so we should see readings bouncing back up to average (and above) in the longer range.KYNG_2015110900_min_max_16THIS DATE IN WEATHER HISTORY: A very cold day 20 years ago today as the high on November 9, 1995 was only 32.WEATHER FOR WEATHER GEEKS: The Valley's most detailed weather video will go online this evening between 7:30-8:00. This evening's video will go into more detail about tonight's rain and the windy late-week system.
