Cooler than normal continues

Clouds will stick around as we head to Tuesday's daybreak, and temperatures fall into the upper 50s with a northeast breeze. This is part of a major change from the summerlike heat we had over the last several days. It's the first day of Fall, or the autumnal equinox:

Tuesday stays mostly cloudy and cool, with highs only reaching the low 70s. The reason is a cooler air mass settling into the Tri-State behind the front that moved through the region. Tuesday night remains cloudy, with temperatures around 60. Another weather system then approaches from the west and strengthens as it moves into the area.

By Wednesday, that upper-level disturbance develops another chance for showers. Cincinnati should remain mostly cloudy with highs in the low 70s, with the better rain chances to be farther east. Once that system begins moving toward the Atlantic, our weather improves considerably.

Thursday remains mostly cloudy and cool with highs in the low 70s, but skies begin clearing Thursday night as temperatures fall into the mid 50s. Friday finally brings back more sunshine, with highs in the low 70s. That sets up a very pleasant weekend.

Saturday looks sunny and cool with highs in the low 70s, followed by clear skies Saturday night and lows around 50. Sunday stays mostly sunny and turns slightly warmer, reaching the mid 70s. The overall story is a dramatic change from weekend heat to a cooler week, followed by an extended stretch of dry weather heading into the weekend.

Now, if you're traveling to watch the Bengals, Pittsburgh's weekend looks good too:
