Highs today will make the 70s, with Cincinnati reaching 71°. That is in part thanks to a southwest wind at 10 to 20 mph. Sunshine lasts into the evening then the clouds start to build.
We will become mostly cloudy overnight, but we should stay dry. Low temperatures will only dip into the low 50s. The low in Cincinnati will be around 51°.
Wednesday will be mostly cloudy and windy. Temperatures will end up near 70 degrees again, and winds will be in from the southwest at 20 to 30 mph.

The Storm Prediction Center has included a majority of the Tri-State in a "marginal risk" for severe storms Wednesday evening. Damaging wind gusts and large hail are possible. However, this will not be a widespread severe weather outbreak.
Showers my be possible as early as 6 p.m. Wednesday, but the best chance for storms will be around 8 p.m., if not later. These shouldn't last too long, exiting the area by 2 a.m. Thursday.
Thursday is officially the first day of Spring, with the Vernal Equinox occurring at 5:01 a.m. However, it won't feel like it. Temperatures will tumble on Thursday behind that cold front. The official high will likely be into the 60s just after midnight, however the afternoon high will be closer to 41°.
There will be some scattered precipitation at times, with winds out of the northwest gusting up to 25 mph. Rain showers are the most likely, however, we cannot rule out a wintry mix at times with this.
