Fog and mist are squeezing visibility across Cincinnati this morning, with temperatures hanging near 57°F as Juneteenth events get underway. The low clouds are expected to lift by mid-morning, leaving most neighborhoods under bright sunshine, a high near 80°F and a light northwest breeze. It should be a dry, comfortable day for celebrations, even if the longer-range outlook for the end of the weekend is not quite as friendly.
Afternoon Into Saturday
Today stays sunny through the afternoon, with northwest winds running about 0–9 mph and highs around 80–83°F. Tomorrow looks like a repeat performance, mostly sunny and mild, with only a slight chance of a brief afternoon shower at around 20%. That should keep parades, park gatherings, and other outdoor plans feeling pretty comfortable today and tomorrow, especially once this morning’s fog clears. If you are heading out early, a light layer will still come in handy.
Sunday Night Into Monday - Heavy Rain Risk
Showers and thunderstorms are likely Sunday afternoon, with the most widespread and potentially heavy rain arriving late Sunday evening and continuing into the overnight hours of Monday, June 22. Some spots could see 2–3 inches of rain overnight, which bumps up the risk of localized flooding in low-lying areas and neighborhoods with poor drainage. Event organizers and commuters should be ready for soggy, slow-going conditions late Sunday and into Monday morning, according to the National Weather Service Wilmington.
How To Prepare
Plan on bringing a jacket and an umbrella at some point this weekend, and think about shifting Sunday evening activities indoors if you can. Give yourself extra time on the roads on Monday morning, steer clear of standing water, and secure loose outdoor items before the heaviest rain moves in. Check the latest forecast and local updates before heading out so you can tweak plans if the weather turns faster than expected.
