Cincinnati is waking up to a chilly, foggy start Friday, but the murky conditions should burn off quickly before sunshine takes over. Temperatures are expected to range from a low in the upper 40s to a high near 67 degrees, with light northeast winds keeping things comfortable.

A special weather statement issued early Friday warned that fog could be locally dense, especially near river valleys, and visibility may change quickly for drivers. The National Weather Service

Foggy Mornings, Sunny Afternoons

Friday night is expected to be partly cloudy, with a low near 50 degrees. Saturday is expected to remain dry.

The weekend stays dry and seasonably cool. Sunday and Monday should reach about 72 degrees under sunny skies, while Tuesday warms slightly to around 74 with mostly cloudy conditions continuing overnight.

Rain Chances Return Midweek

A small chance of precipitation is possible Tuesday night. Wednesday brings a 40% chance of rain showers with a high in the mid- to upper 70s, followed by another 40% chance Thursday as temperatures rise near 80.

For now, Cincinnati’s best outdoor window is Friday afternoon through Tuesday, with light winds, low rain chances and plenty of sunshine. Drivers should take the usual extra-care approach during the early fog, especially near low-lying roads and river corridors.
