Cincinnati is starting Saturday with brilliant sunshine. Mostly sunny conditions will push the afternoon high to about 56, but the real weather shift arrives after sunset.

Temperatures will tumble Saturday night, with a low near 33 and patchy frost developing after 3 a.m. The National Weather Service has issued a Freeze Warning from 1 a.m. to 9 a.m. Sunday for the Cincinnati region and surrounding areas.

Frost Before Sunday Sunshine

Sunday will begin with areas of frost before quickly turning sunny, with a high near 63. Light winds and dry conditions should make the afternoon comfortable, but tender plants and exposed outdoor plumbing may need protection from the overnight cold.

Another chilly night follows Sunday, with a low around 37, and patchy frost remains possible Monday morning between 7 and 9 a.m. Monday will then warm to about 67 degrees under sunny skies.

Sunny Skies Through Friday

Sunny or pleasant skies are expected from Tuesday through Friday.
