Fog and a sharp early chill greeted Cincinnati on Sunday morning, with a Freeze Warning in effect until 9 a.m. The payoff comes later: sunshine should take over, sending temperatures toward a comfortable high near 64 degrees.
Frost Gives Way To Sunshine
At about 5:35 a.m. Sunday, Cincinnati's Lunken Airport was reporting fog, calm winds, temperatures around 37 degrees and visibility near a quarter-mile. The National Weather Service says valley fog is possible across parts of southern Ohio and northern Kentucky, while frost should ease by 9 a.m.
Temperatures will climb steadily through the morning, reaching the 50s around midday and the low 60s during the afternoon. East to southeast winds will stay light at 5 mph or less, and no rain is expected.
A Warm, Dry Stretch Takes Over
Sunday night will be clear and cold, with a low near 39 degrees. Monday brings another round of patchy frost early, followed by sunshine and a high near 67.
The warming trend continues Tuesday through Thursday, with highs of 69, 70 and 71 degrees, respectively. Friday and Saturday should remain sunny and dry, with afternoon highs near 70 and 71 and overnight lows in the mid-40s.
Residents with tender plants or exposed outdoor plumbing should take precautions during the coldest early-morning hours Sunday. Sheltered valleys and outlying areas may run colder than the city, even as the afternoon turns pleasantly mild.
