Cincinnati gets a taste of spring today, even though the calendar insists it’s still winter. Sunshine and warm southwest winds brought us a near high temperature record of 67, beating the old mark of 64 set in 1949.
A steady breeze will be around through the evening, reminding us it’s still January, but overall it’s a pleasant and unusually mild night. Later, clouds increase, and temperatures stay relatively comfortable, only slipping into the lower 40s by morning.
Saturday tells a different story. Clouds thicken early, and periods of light rain and drizzle move in throughout the day. It’s not a washout, but expect damp roads and gray skies. Temperatures cool, topping out in the lower 50s. Winds pick up again during the afternoon, adding a chilly edge by evening. As night falls, colder air settles in, and temperatures drop quickly, heading toward the upper 20s. We could start Sunday with a few snow showers.
By Sunday, winter fully reclaims the Queen City. Cold air, gusty winds, and low clouds dominate the day, making it feel much colder than the thermometer suggests. Highs struggle to reach the low 30s, and the breeze will bring the wind chills to the teens. Sunday night turns downright cold, with lows falling into the low 20s as the region settles into a true winter pattern.
