The Tri-State weather will be quiet and mostly clear with temperatures into the mid 40s at daybreak. Winds will shift to the south which warms us up into Wednesday.
The sky will be mostly sunny to partly cloudy with warmer temperatures in the low 70s. The record high for March 1 in Cincinnati is 71° set in 1976. Our current forecast is for 72°, which would be our fourth high temperature record in the last three week. As the cold front moves in late in the day, spotty showers will develop into the evening. This is most likely approximately around 7 p.m. This system will cool down temperatures into Thursday to the 50s under mostly cloudy skies.
Thursday will be quiet, but late in the day and into Thursday night our next system pushes in. It will really ramp up into very early Friday morning, bringing some very heavy rain. We should see rounds of showers going into Friday morning and another round early Friday afternoon. Both rounds of rain could bring heavy downpours, and we are in a risk for flash flooding. Weather models are already showing 1.5" to 2.0" of rain, with localized heavier amounts. We could also get some rumbles of thunder with this system. And to add onto all of this, expect it to be a windy day with sustained winds at 30 to 40 mph, gusting higher than that during the day.
