Cincinnati is ending Tuesday with clear skies after afternoon sunshine. The National Weather Service forecast calls for a clear, calm night, with a low around 48 degrees.
Fog Clears For A Sunny Tuesday
The morning river-valley fog was expected to improve quickly after sunrise at Lunken Field. The latest forecast calls for clear conditions tonight.
The fog was expected to be localized: the National Weather Service’s aviation forecast flagged possible visibility restrictions at Lunken Field in the river valley, while expecting otherwise favorable flying conditions at area airports. The office said the fog should improve quickly after sunrise, helping explain how low-lying spots could start gray even as skies cleared elsewhere. The Wilmington office’s aviation discussion outlined that contrast.
Tuesday night will be clear, with a low around 48 degrees. Wednesday then brings sunny skies and a high near 81 degrees, with west winds of 5 to 9 mph developing in the afternoon.
The warming reflects a shift in the regional pattern: high pressure is moving southeast, allowing milder return flow to develop across the Ohio Valley. A weak front is expected to pass Wednesday night into Thursday, but limited moisture should mean clouds rather than rain; another high-pressure system is forecast to build in later in the week. The NWS Wilmington forecast discussion describes the setup behind the dry, warmer stretch.
Dry Weather Holds Through Saturday
The sunny stretch continues Thursday and Friday, with highs near 79 and 75 degrees, respectively. Saturday’s high is forecast at 75 to 80 degrees. Showers are possible after 2 a.m. Saturday night, with a 30% chance of precipitation.
A chance of showers is forecast Sunday, with partly sunny skies, a high near 76 degrees and a 40% chance of precipitation. A chance of showers continues Sunday night, with precipitation chances at 40%.
Columbus Day Starts With A Shower Chance
A slight chance of showers remains for early Monday, Columbus Day, before skies turn partly sunny, with a high near 77 degrees. The National Weather Service reports no watches, warnings or advisories in effect.
