The hot and humid stretch continues across the Cincinnati Tri-State area, and it’s going to be another several days of summer heat. Tuesday begins a 9 First Warning Weather Alert Period.
Tonight stays partly cloudy with temperatures settling into the middle 70s, offering little relief from the warmth. By Tuesday and Wednesday, expect mostly sunny to sunny skies with afternoon highs climbing into the low to mid 90s. When you combine that heat with the humidity, it will feel more like the low to mid 100s during the hottest part of the day, so plan to limit strenuous outdoor activities, take frequent breaks, and stay well hydrated if you’ll be outside.
Thursday looks very similar, with plenty of sunshine and highs again in the middle 90s before another warm night in the middle 70s. This persistent heat is being fueled by a large area of high pressure overhead, helping to lock in the hot and muggy pattern through the workweek.
By Friday, that weather pattern begins to weaken just enough to allow a small chance for scattered showers and thunderstorms to develop during the afternoon and evening. While much of the day will still be warm, if these storms may help keep the heat from becoming quite as intense. So, it's very important not to leave your pet in the car even for a few minutes.
Looking ahead to the Independence Day holiday and the rest of the weekend, keep an eye on the forecast if you have outdoor plans. There will be recurring chances for showers and thunderstorms each day, although it won’t be a washout. Temperatures ease back slightly, with highs settling into the lower 90s and heat index values becoming a bit lower than earlier in the week. Some storms could become strong, with damaging wind the primary concern if stronger storms develop.
