Cincinnati is starting Sunday near 60 degrees under cloudy skies, with showers and thunderstorms likely before the weather settles down later in the day. The high should reach about 68 degrees, making for a damp and cooler finish to the weekend before a sharp warmup takes over.
Rain Arrives Before Sunday Afternoon
Showers and a few thunderstorms are most likely from midmorning through early afternoon, with rain chances climbing near 70% and easing before 3 p.m. Rainfall should generally stay between a tenth and a quarter-inch, and the National Weather Service says severe weather and flooding are not expected.
The forecast is a modest update to the earlier weekend outlook, which already flagged Sunday as the wet day. The newer forecast adds a fog threat Sunday night and a hotter start to the workweek, according to the National Weather Service.
Fog Gives Way To Summerlike Heat
Patchy fog could develop after 1 a.m. Sunday night and linger into Monday morning, with some low-visibility travel possible before 10 a.m. Monday then turns mostly sunny and warm, reaching about 83 degrees.
Tuesday looks even hotter, with sunshine and a high near 87 degrees. Rain chances return Wednesday, when showers and thunderstorms are likely, followed by additional shower chances Thursday and Friday before cooler air arrives Friday night and Saturday.
By Saturday, Cincinnati could be looking at a partly sunny high near 58 degrees, a dramatic change from Tuesday's summerlike warmth. In other words, the forecast is serving up rain, fog, heat and sweater weather in one very busy week.
