Good evening, Butler County. The National Weather Service forecast updated at 12:05 p.m. called for rain and a possible thunderstorm this afternoon, with a high near 67 and south-wind gusts up to 28 miles per hour. A current airport observation and the final daytime rainfall total were not independently available for this edition, so neither is being claimed.
Rain chances taper this evening. The National Weather Service calls for a 30 percent chance of rain before 8 p.m., followed by patchy drizzle through midnight. Skies should remain mostly cloudy, with a low around 50 and west wind from 5 to 9 miles per hour.
Thursday should begin mostly cloudy and gradually become sunny, with a high near 64 and southwest wind from 6 to 13 miles per hour. Thursday night is forecast partly cloudy with a low around 44.
Yankee Road remains scheduled closed just north of Hornet Drive for the Monroe High School driveway project. The posted through-traffic detour uses Todhunter Road, Salzman Road and State Route 63, with reopening expected November 20, weather permitting. Butler County RTA currently lists three service alerts: the Riverfront Transit Center closure with CincyLink service using the temporary Third Street stop, the R6 Hanover Street detour through the end of November, and the O1/O1D Cook Field detour through 11 p.m. Friday, November 6.
This Evening edition is limited to weather, road and transit information independently checked from official sources during preparation. Current airport conditions, live traffic incidents, event changes, sports results, school notices, fuel prices and market figures were not independently reverified for this narration, so no current claims are made in those categories.
