Welcome to spring!
There will be a number of clouds overnight as we drop down into the upper 40s for Saturday morning. The sunshine breaks out in the afternoon, helping to warm us up into the low 70s for the first full day of spring.
Sunday will be breezy as even warmer weather blows in from the southwest. This will push most of us into the low 80s in the afternoon with a mix of sun and clouds. At the same time, a cold front will move in from the northwest, which will cool off cities northwest of Greater Cincinnati quickly late in the day. It will also kick off some hit and miss storms on the leading edge of the cooler weather. These could arrive in the Tri-State late in the afternoon and push southeast into northern Kentucky in the evening and night. A couple of these storms could reach severe levels with the threat for hail and strong wind.
The Storm Prediction Center (SPC) has the Tri-State under a "Slight" risk for severe storms, which is a 2 of 5 on the severe threat scale.
Behind the cold front, we will drop into the 50s Monday through Wednesday, which is closer to average for late March. Wednesday also brings a small chance for some light rain.
All eyes remain focused on Thursday next week for Reds Opening Day! The timing for the cold front that brings another round of rain is still uncertain, but right now, it looks like the parade will be dry with a high near 70. Rain looks more likely in the evening or night, which could impact the game, but there's still plenty of time before the forecast gets locked in.
Then, we drop back down into the 50s into next weekend.
