Fog has settled over Cincinnati early today, with visibility down to about a quarter-mile and temperatures near 66 degrees. The morning should brighten quickly, but the calm start gives way to a round of showers and thunderstorms later in the day.
Storm Chances Rise Saturday Afternoon
Mostly sunny skies are expected through the morning as temperatures climb into the upper 70s. According to the National Weather Service, scattered showers and thunderstorms are most likely from late morning through midafternoon, with the chance of rain reaching about 50%.
The strongest storm potential is expected mainly east of Cincinnati, where a few storms could bring damaging wind gusts and some hail. Brief heavy downpours are also possible, although the storms should move along quickly enough to limit additional flooding concerns.
Winds Pick Up Before A Cooler Night
West winds will build to around 10 mph during the afternoon, with occasional gusts near 20 mph possible as a cold front crosses the region. Rain chances drop sharply after sunset, with only a slight chance of a shower or thunderstorm before 7 p.m. and a low near 61 degrees overnight.
Sunny Stretch Arrives Sunday
Tomorrow brings a noticeable reset: sunny skies, a high near 78 degrees and a much cooler overnight low around 56. Monday should stay sunny with another high near 78, while temperatures gradually rebound to around 80 Tuesday, 84 Wednesday, and 86 Thursday and Friday.
For today's plans, the best window for outdoor time is the morning and early midday. Anyone caught outside during a thunderstorm should move indoors, especially if winds suddenly strengthen or thunder becomes frequent.
