Cincinnati is starting Wednesday with fog and mist, but the gray curtain should lift before 9 a.m. After that, expect a sunny, comfortable afternoon with temperatures climbing to about 84 degrees.

Fog Fades Before a Calm, Sunny Afternoon

The morning fog may briefly slow visibility, especially near river valleys, so drivers should give themselves a little extra room. The National Weather Service expects north winds of 1 to 8 mph, no rain and plenty of sunshine through the afternoon.

Tonight will be mostly clear, with temperatures falling to around 61 degrees and light north winds. Thursday keeps the dry pattern going, with sunny skies and a high near 85.

Weekend Storms Bring the Bigger Weather Shift

Friday should remain mostly sunny and warmer, reaching about 87 degrees, but the pattern changes late Friday night. Showers and thunderstorms could develop after 2 a.m., with rain chances rising to 70% on Saturday as storms become likely through the day.

Saturday’s high should reach about 83 degrees under mostly cloudy skies, while Sunday brings another 60% chance of showers and thunderstorms with a high near 83. Storm chances linger into Monday and Tuesday, although both days should still see periods of sunshine and highs in the mid-to-upper 80s.
