CINCINNATI — 63 Degrees! This is my afternoon high forecast for Christmas Day, which will rank us as the fifth warmest Christmas in the record books.
In the meantime, clear skies with cold, dry air will allow overnight lows to drop to the low 20s.
Now, Thursday's forecast is relatively quiet but noticeable different. Winds shift to the south and this ushers in warmer air quickly. We should have highs in the upper 40s. But it gets better: Look below at what happens Friday:
We'll warm to 57 on Christmas Eve. Low pressure is getting closer on this day which will give us a mostly cloudy sky and potentially a few light showers. But the rain chance is still low.
One of the mildest Christmas Days ever! 63° is my forecast high for Saturday @wcpo #cincywx pic.twitter.com/j6w0bAuwWE
