The chilly air will become the main talker once the rain exits. We’re looking at 60s for highs Wednesday through Friday. Thursday and Friday mornings will have lows near 40 degrees in Dayton. Some patchy frost may even be possible across our northern communities Friday morning with lows there in the upper 30s. These temperatures will be the coldest temperatures we’ve felt since late May.
