Here's the story as we end May.

While we'll see this weather pattern continue into the weekend, Sunday looks to be a potential change for us. I say potential because we do have some conflicting forecast info. Yet, I'm looking at this more mild weather starting into next week. In the meantime, overnight will stay warm and dry. Temperatures will fall to the mid 60s for the morning rush.

Thursday will be mostly sunny with highs in the upper 80s and some spots could hit 90 degrees. Then, we repeat everything for Friday. On Saturday, don't be surprised if some towns hit 90 for the first time this year. The last 90-degree day for Cincinnati was back in September.

The one big issue for so many seems to be pollen and allergy issues. We haven't seen a soaking rain since May 7th which continues to allow for growth and high allergen counts. Grass pollen is the highest during the day, followed by tree and weed pollen. With no soaking rainfall expected over the next 9 days, allergy issues are going to continue, if not get worse.

Changes look to happen on Sunday. It'll still be warm with low to mid 80s, but the winds look to shift and drop the temps a few more degrees into our first week of June.
