Cincinnati is starting Friday with fog, but the murky morning will give way to bright sunshine and a much warmer afternoon. Temperatures are expected to climb to around 71 degrees, with light northeast winds and no rain in the forecast.

Visibility could be reduced in spots before 9 a.m., so drivers may want to take it easy during the morning commute. After that, skies should clear quickly, setting up a comfortable day across the city and nearby communities.

Sunny Weekend With More Mild Temperatures

The pleasant pattern sticks around Saturday, with sunshine and a high near 71. Saturday night should be mostly clear, with temperatures dropping to about 44 degrees.

Sunday looks even warmer, with sunny skies and a high near 73. The National Weather Service's Wilmington office says dry conditions are expected to persist through the middle of next week, with the latest forecast discussion noting a stable weather pattern and limited moisture.

Warmest Day Arrives Monday

Monday is currently expected to be the warmest day of the stretch, reaching about 74 degrees under sunny skies. A weak front could move through Monday night, but the forecast remains dry, with partly cloudy conditions and a low near 48.

Tuesday should bring sunshine and a high near 72, while Wednesday is forecast to be sunny with a high near 71. Thursday could be sunny with a high near 70, though temperatures as high as 77 are also in the forecast.
