Cincinnati is waking up to fog and mist Monday morning, but the gray start should lift by 10 a.m. Sunny skies will take over for the afternoon, with temperatures climbing to around 71 degrees and no rain in sight.
A light north wind of 1 to 6 mph will accompany the clearing skies. Tonight will be crisp and clear, with temperatures dropping to about 44 degrees — a reminder that fall mornings are still very much on the schedule.
Clear Nights, Warmer Afternoons Ahead
Tuesday will look much like Monday’s afternoon, with sunshine and a high near 71, according to the National Weather Service. The week then warms up quickly: Wednesday could reach 80 degrees, followed by highs near 77 Thursday, 78 Friday and 79 Saturday.
How Warm Is That for October?
The National Weather Service Cincinnati climate report lists a normal high of 71°F for October 5, 2026, matching Monday’s forecast. A high near 80°F later in the week would be about 9 degrees above that benchmark.
Rain Chances Wait Until Sunday
Most of the workweek and Saturday should stay dry, although a slight chance of showers arrives late Saturday night. Sunday remains warm near 80 degrees, with partly sunny skies and a 23% chance of rain showers; no watches or warnings are in effect for the Cincinnati area.
