Cincinnati is starting Thursday under cloudy skies, with temperatures near 48 degrees and a brisk northwest wind setting a decidedly November tone. The day will stay mostly gray before light rain becomes possible during the afternoon and evening.

Rain Arrives After The Afternoon Commute

Friday brings another chance of rain before 9 a.m., followed by cloudy skies and a cooler high near 47 degrees. Forecasters say a few wet snowflakes cannot be ruled out in colder spots Friday or Friday night, but no meaningful accumulation is expected, according to the National Weather Service.

A Cold Start Leads To A Brighter Weekend

Friday night temperatures will drop to around 30 degrees. Saturday and Sunday should turn mostly sunny, although both mornings will start near freezing before afternoon highs reach 47 and 49 degrees.

Monday looks mostly sunny, with a high near 51 degrees. No watches, warnings or advisories are currently posted for the Cincinnati-area forecast zones.
