As the humidity starts to climb overnight, we won't be able to cool off as much as the last couple mornings. Most of the Tri-State will start Sunday in the upper 60s with more clouds than sunshine.
Sunday afternoon will be partly cloudy as the heat and humidity really start to kick in. Highs will be in the upper 80s, but it will be feeling like the low 90s. A couple spotty storms could make it into the Tri-State Sunday night, but most of us will be dry.
The better opportunity for rain and storms will be Monday. There is still a lot of uncertainty on the timing of the storms. While they could arrive as early as the late morning, there's also a chance they don't arrive until late Monday night. Hopefully we'll have more confidence on the timing soon. No matter when the storms arrive, they could be strong to severe. This will include the threat for a couple areas of flash flooding due to the large amount of moisture in the atmosphere. As a result, we are issuing a 9 First Warning Weather Alert Day for Monday.
The Storm Prediction Center has us under a slight risk for severe weather, which is a 2 of 5 on their severe risk scale.
If we're able to stay dry long enough Monday, highs could hit 90 in Cincinnati, pushing the heat index into the upper 90s.
A few leftover spotty showers and storms are possible Tuesday, but a lot of us will be dry. Highs will be in the upper 80s with a mix of sunshine and clouds... and plenty of humidity.
Behind a weak cold front, we will drop into the low 80s Wednesday with partly cloudy skies. This will also help to drop the humidity.
Thursday and Friday will be partly cloudy with mid 80s both afternoons. The lower humidity will also let us drop into the mid 60s for the mornings.
The mid 80s continue for the weekend. It looks mostly cloudy, but dry, for FC Cincinnati on Saturday. Sunday brings a lot more sunshine.
