As the workweek in Greater Cincinnati nears its end, we brace for a weather shift on Friday, as a cold front sweeps into the region. Anticipation mounts as the forecast promises a reprieve from the chill, with rain showers accompanying a surge in temperatures. Winds will shift across the landscape overnight, so morning lows will start in the low 30s with sunshine. This is after the winter feel to the weather.
As the day progresses, the skies darken, heralding the arrival of the advancing front. We could see showers begin in the most southern part of the Tri-State around the 1pm hour, so umbrellas may get opened there early.
Despite the dampness, I think, there will be a sense of relief in the air as temperatures begin to climb, offering a brief respite from the winter chill that has gripped the region. Highs will climb almost 20° by the afternoon. We'll reach the mild low 60s by 4pm. The wet weather will last through Friday night and a few thunderstorms are possible.
However, the warmth is fleeting, as the weekend looms on the horizon. As Friday transitions into Saturday, the clouds linger into Saturday morning with even a chance for a leftover shower. Plus, the mercury once again begins its descent, signaling the return of cooler temperatures as highs fall to the mid to upper 40s! Clearing returns for the afternoon and remains through Sunday where afternoon temps rise back to the mid 50s!
