Light rain and gray skies are setting up a chilly Friday in Cincinnati, with temperatures in the low 40s early and a high near 47. Spotty showers may continue into the afternoon, especially around midday, while a north wind at 6 to 9 mph keeps things feeling colder than the thermometer suggests.
Rain Lingers Into Friday Afternoon
Spotty showers are possible through the day, with light precipitation expected, according to the National Weather Service.
Friday night brings decreasing clouds, a low around 31 degrees and northwest winds of 5 to 10 mph. No weather watches, warnings or advisories are posted for the Cincinnati area.
A Cold Weekend Gives Way To Sunshine
Saturday brings sunny skies but only a high near 48, followed by a mostly cloudy Saturday night with a low around 35. Sunday looks a little brighter and milder, reaching about 50 degrees under partly sunny skies.
The weekend forecast is dry, but the cold remains the main story for anyone planning outdoor errands, games or events. Morning temperatures in the low to mid-30s could make the first part of the day feel more like winter than mid-November.
Warmer Weather Builds Next Week
The forecast takes a noticeably sunnier turn Monday, when Cincinnati could reach 49 degrees, followed by 54 Tuesday and 59 Wednesday. Thursday is currently projected to be partly cloudy with a high near 60.
The National Weather Service says high pressure should keep conditions quiet next week as southerly winds return Wednesday and Thursday. In other words, Cincinnati gets one more chilly weekend before the weather starts acting a little more cooperative.
