The overnight stays mostly clear across Greater Cincinnati and the Tri-State, and it will be a very warm morning with temperatures only falling into the mid 70s.

Wednesday turns sunny and dangerously hot. Temperatures climb into the mid 90s, but the humidity will make it feel closer to 105 at times. A Heat Advisory remains in effect, and Wednesday currently has the best chance for widespread advisory-level heat because thunderstorms should be more limited. Wednesday night stays mostly clear and very warm, with lows in the mid 70s.

Thursday brings another day of intense heat, with sunshine, highs in the mid 90s, and heat index values again potentially reaching 105. Thunderstorm chances begin increasing later Thursday, especially farther north, as the atmosphere becomes more active. But storms still look spotty.

We are under a "Marginal Risk" for severe weather on Thursday, says the Storm Prediction Center. Plus, locally heavy rainfall could produce isolated flooding where storms repeatedly track over the same locations.

The pattern becomes more unsettled Saturday, with a better chance for showers and thunderstorms and highs backing down to around 90.

By Sunday, we finally get more noticeable relief, with mostly sunny skies and highs in the mid to upper 80s, although an isolated evening shower or storm cannot be ruled out around the Tri-State. But the chances are only running at about 20%.-30%. Labor Day remains mostly sunny and more comfortable, with afternoon temperatures settling into the mid 80s.
