The bulk of the heaviest rain has moved through much of the Tri-State and now we will start to dry out. The cold front itself moved through the area after 10 p.m. on Monday and now it is time for us to clear out.

Cold front can be seen clearly as it comes into the Tri-State this evening. A few gusts of winds and heavy downpours will be possible#WCPO #CincyWX #OHwx pic.twitter.com/JPZgogSOJq

As we move into the overnight, clouds will slowly clear out as we turn mostly clear. Temperatures will be cooler tonight, but it will be warmer than normal by around 10-degrees. The low tonight is 38°, while our seasonal average low for the morning is 28°.

Tuesday will be our nicest day of the week. We will see sunshine to start the day but clouds roll in during the mid-afternoon and evening. Temperatures stay mild at 52° with a west wind at 5 to 10 mph. Clouds build overnight Tuesday into Wednesday, with temperatures staying above average.

The next front moves in as we head into Wednesday and that one has bigger temperature implications. More rain will be with us to start the morning on Wednesday, with downpours across the area. The rain will wrap up in the afternoon with temperatures around 46. However, that is the warmest we will be through at least Christmas Eve. Behind that rain and front our winds turn to the northwest and drive in colder air for the end of the week. Thursday's high will be 38°.

The Winter Solstice is 5 days away, which marks the start of astronomical winter. This weekend will feel like it too, with temps in the 30s, but that cold snap won't last too long.#WCPO #CincyWX #OHwx pic.twitter.com/PD0mc8EkWz
