Our 9 First Warning Weather Alert Days continue into Saturday for the 4th of July with more dangerous heat and humidity. Continue to stay cool and hydrated the best you can. It's also a good idea to check on your older neighbors, friends, and family members to make sure they are safe and staying cool.
It will be warm and muggy overnight with mid 70s heading into Saturday morning.
The 4th of July starts dry with a lot of sunshine, followed by a mix of sun and clouds in the afternoon. Highs will be in the low 90s, but the humidity will make it feel more like 101 in Cincinnati. Scattered showers and storms will arrive in the second half of the day and will continue into the early night. Only about half of the Tri-State will get hit by the storms, so don't cancel your outdoor plans, but keep an eye on radar and be ready to move your plans inside. The storms will come with a small severe threat. Along with the heavy rain and lightning, the strongest storms could also produce strong wind.
We get a touch cooler Sunday. Highs will be in the upper 80s, dropping the heat index down into the upper 90s. Monday will be in the mid 80s, dropping the heat index down into the low 90s. A weak cold front will also stall in the region those two days, kicking off a few scattered showers and storms. Only about a third of the Tri-State will see rain each day.
The mid 80s will continue the rest of the week, keeping temperatures near average for a nice stretch. The humidity won't be as bad as this week, but it will still be muggy.
Scattered showers and storms return Thursday and continue at times into next weekend.
