Overnight brings a welcome break across the Tri-State. Skies become partly cloudy as the front responsible for our recent rain settles south of the area, and temperatures fall into the mid 60s. With winds becoming calm, some patchy fog may develop late tonight.

Saturday morning could begin foggy in spots, but that gives way to mostly sunny skies and a warmer afternoon with highs in the mid 80s. The quiet stretch won’t last all day. The front sitting just to our south begins reorganizing while disturbances ride through the region, allowing a few scattered thunderstorms to return Saturday afternoon. Showers and thunderstorms remain possible Saturday night, with temperatures only dropping into the upper 60s.

Sunday becomes more unsettled. We’ll see partly sunny skies, highs in the mid 80s again and an increasing chance for showers and thunderstorms during the afternoon/evenig as the boundary slowly moves through the region.

It appears that repeated rounds of storms could develop near that boundary, and with plenty of moisture available, locally heavy rain is possible. The front should finally settle south of us by Monday morning, but that doesn’t immediately end the rain chances.

Weak areas of low pressure moving along the stalled front keep periods of showers and possibly thunderstorms in the forecast Monday into Tuesday. Temperatures respond by turning much cooler, falling to around 80 Monday and the mid 70s Tuesday. By Wednesday and Thursday, Cincinnati dries out more, with partly sunny skies and highs settling into the low 70s.
