The earlier fog and mist had cleared at Lunken Field by 9:53 a.m. Saturday, when conditions were reported as fair with 7-mile visibility. Sunshine is forecast for the rest of the day, with a high near 72 degrees. The National Weather Service observation and forecast give the latest conditions and outlook.
Fog Clears Before A Sunny Afternoon
Morning visibility may be reduced, especially in low-lying areas, so drivers should give themselves extra time during the early commute. Winds will stay light from the northeast at around 0 to 3 mph, and rain is not expected.
Hamilton County has no weather alerts listed in the National Weather Service’s county outlook. A dense-fog advisory issued Saturday morning covered parts of west-central Ohio—zones OHZ026, OHZ034 and OHZ035—and was scheduled to expire at 10 a.m.; it did not include Hamilton County. The distinction matters because fog alerts elsewhere in Ohio do not signal an alert for Cincinnati. Hamilton County’s alert listing and the advisory details outline the separate coverage.
Saturday night will be mostly clear, though areas of fog could return after 2 a.m. Sunday brings another foggy start before skies turn sunny, with a high near 73 and similarly light winds.
Warm, Dry Weather Sticks Around
The unusually mild pattern continues into next week. Monday should reach about 75 degrees under mostly sunny skies.
Thursday and Friday are forecast to reach 78 degrees, according to the National Weather Service’s Cincinnati forecast. The extended forecast points to a dry pattern.
A midlevel ridge extending from the western Gulf toward the western Great Lakes is expected to shift east early in the week, while high pressure east of the region holds through the weekend. A weak front is forecast to sag south Monday into Monday night, then wash out; the ridge weakens by midweek. The local forecast calls for above-normal temperatures and dry conditions to persist well into next week. The Wilmington forecast discussion outlines the pattern behind the warm, dry stretch.
Cincinnati’s Oct. 24 normal high is 63 degrees, making Saturday’s forecast high of 72 about 9 degrees above normal; the normal low is 43, compared with a forecast low near 45. Normal highs fall to 61 degrees by Oct. 29 and 30, while the forecast calls for 78 degrees Thursday and Friday. The city’s daily October climate normals show the seasonal baseline, alongside the current Cincinnati forecast.
