The National Weather Service in Wilmington, OH informed the public of weather changes on the horizon, including chances for showers and thunderstorms followed by drier spells. According to the forecast, a mid-level low-pressure system is expected to head east into the upper Ohio Valley and eastern Tennessee Valley today, which would usher in these varied conditions.
Cincinnatians can anticipate isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms mainly affecting the eastern parts of the area, with today's highs cresting in the low to mid-80s, the National Weather Service advised; however, as the day progresses into the evening, the system will continue eastwards and, coupled with the fading diurnal instability, should put an end to the precipitation, leading to skies ranging from mostly clear to partly cloudy, nighttime conditions favoring the development of fog owing to high dewpoints and slack winds are also on the forecast's menu.
For those yearning for sunshine, Sunday appears promising as visions of fog from the previous night should dissipate by mid-morning, leaving behind mostly sunny skies and weak high pressure lingering across the Ohio Valley. Early August warmth gilds this prospective picture, with comfortable levels of humidity and temperatures aiming for the 85 to 90 degrees Fahrenheit mark.
Looking forward into the week, the National Weather Service's long-term forecast hints at continued warmth and humidity with Monday and Tuesday's high temperatures settling in the upper 80s to low 90s range dewpoints won't be shy, sticking in the upper 60s to lower 70s which means heat indices could well flirt with the mid to upper 90s in certain areas. However, speculative precipitation and a cold front are expected late into Tuesday, leading to cooler, drier conditions to escort out the week gracefully.
