Cincinnati is getting the easy part of the week first: clear skies, winds generally 10 knots or less and temperatures in the 70s across the forecast area Monday. Temperatures were hovering around 60 early Monday, making for a crisp start before the sunshine takes over.

Sunny Monday Gives Way To Summer Heat

Monday night should stay mostly clear, with temperatures dipping to around 59 degrees and east winds near 5 mph. The National Weather Service expects temperatures to reach the 80s to near 90 on Tuesday.

Wednesday and Thursday look just as hot, with highs near 93 and thunderstorms possible. Some storms could pop up Wednesday and Thursday, while the broader forecast calls for more rounds of showers and thunderstorms later in the week.

Storm Chances Build By The Weekend

Friday should see occasional showers and storms. The front is expected to move south into the weekend.

There are no watches, warnings or advisories posted for the Cincinnati area Monday morning. For outdoor plans, Monday is the standout day before the forecast turns hotter and more unsettled.
