Cincinnati gets one more warm, sunny afternoon Tuesday before a stormy turn arrives overnight. Temperatures near 54 degrees before dawn will climb to around 78, then showers and thunderstorms are expected to move in after midnight.
Sunny Tuesday Sets Up A Wet Wednesday
Tuesday will stay mostly sunny, with south winds between 5 and 12 mph and little chance of rain during the day. The warm spell is a notable early-November bonus, but it comes with a fairly short shelf life.
The latest forecast puts Tuesday’s high at 78 degrees, matching Hoodline’s earlier forecast. No watches, warnings or advisories are posted for the Cincinnati area.
Storms Arrive After Midnight
Rain chances rise Tuesday night, with showers possible after 2 a.m. Wednesday and showers and thunderstorms likely before daybreak. The overnight low should settle near 61 degrees, with southeast winds around 7 to 10 mph.
Wednesday looks like the week’s main weather headache, bringing showers and thunderstorms, a high near 72 and south winds of 10 to 14 mph with gusts up to 25 mph. The National Weather Service says storm totals could reach 1 to 1.5 inches in spots across the southwest portion of its area, with locally heavy rain and a few embedded thunderstorms possible, especially south of the Ohio River.
Cooler, Quieter Weather Returns
Showers should taper Wednesday night, followed by mostly sunny skies and a high near 69 Thursday. Friday through Sunday will be more seasonable, with highs generally in the upper 50s to mid-60s and occasional lower-end rain chances.
Overnight lows will fall into the 40s by the weekend, so Cincinnati’s brief run of summerlike afternoons is nearing its exit. For outdoor plans, Tuesday is the clear choice; Wednesday is better suited to an umbrella, extra travel time and keeping an eye on changing conditions.
