Cincinnati is waking up to clear skies and temperatures near 52 degrees Saturday, with plenty of sunshine expected through the afternoon, according to the National Weather Service. The high should reach about 69 degrees, making for a crisp but comfortable start to the weekend.
Sunny Weekend, Mild Sunday
Northeast winds will run around 5 to 8 mph Saturday, with no rain in the forecast. Saturday night will turn partly cloudy and cool, with a low near 52, before Sunday brings mostly sunny skies and a warmer high around 75, as reported by the National Weather Service.
The dry pattern is expected to continue into Monday and Tuesday, but temperatures will dip noticeably. Highs should stay in the upper 60s, while overnight lows fall to about 44 degrees, with a chance for patchy frost in some spots Monday and Tuesday nights.
How Early Is Frost?
For context, the National Weather Service Wilmington, Ohio, lists Oct. 25 as the normal date of Cincinnati (KLUK)’s first 32-degree reading, based on 1991–2020 climatology.
The agency notes that frost can form when the ground reaches 32 degrees even if the temperature five feet above ground is 36 degrees.
Warmer Weather Returns Late Week
Sunny skies remain in place Wednesday through Friday as temperatures rebound. Highs are forecast near 75 degrees Wednesday and around 78 degrees Thursday and Friday, with cool but mostly clear nights and no significant rain expected through the end of the forecast period.
