Overnight in the Greater Cincinnati area, surface high pressure is building in from the northwest, so it should be a cooler night. Temperatures will likely stay below normal, following today’s trend of highs in the lower 60s northeast to upper 60s southwest. So, our lows fall again back to the mid 40s after the chilly morning lows near 40 this morning.
On Friday, the high pressure slides southeast, letting southerly low-level winds kick in. That means it’ll warm up a bit, with highs generally in the lower 70s. Friday night, scattered showers could start showing up as the southwest flow brings more moisture into the Tri-State.
Saturday looks warmer and more humid, with highs reaching the lower 80s. Thunderstorm chances increase Saturday into Saturday night ahead of a warm front.
Specifically, we have moderate instability and favorable elevated lapse rates, but it’s not a slam dunk for any severe conditions. Some model solutions hint at the potential for strong to severe storms. The Storm Prediction Center has placed us in a “Marginal Risk”, 1 out of 5, for severe storms.
By Sunday, highs climb into the mid to upper 80s, with only a slight chance of any remaining showers or storms mainly north as the warm lifts toward I-70.
Monday brings near-record-breaking temperatures! Highs are expected around 90 to 92° under a partly cloudy sky. The record for Monday is 93° set in 1962.
