For the first time in 2023 it feels like winter. It is only the third time this month we have had a high temperature colder than average and it is the first time we had back to back days with colder than normal temperatures in more than two weeks.

Skies have been clear and sunny much of the afternoon and that is how they will stay as we head into the evening and overnight tonight. These clear skies will lead temperatures falling into the low 20s as we move into the overnight. There won’t be much wind to talk about either, which will lead to the potential for frost to develop through the early morning on Sunday. Keep the scraper handy if you’re heading to early service in the morning.

Expect a thick frost to start the morning on Sunday. Temperatures will be in the low 20s along with light winds and clear skies. Plan an extra few minutes to warm the car up and scrape the windows on the way out the door! @WCPO #WCPO #CincyWX #OHwx #NKYwx #INwx pic.twitter.com/1rDtGkIpjS

Those winds will turn to the south as we head into the morning hours but they will still stay calm around 5 mph. A few more clouds roll in for midday Sunday, but overall, we’ll see mostly clear to partly cloudy skies. Highs on Sunday will be into the low 40s.

A few more clouds roll in as we head into the evening, which is a big one here in Cincinnati! Despite the clouds, it will be dry for the big playoff game at Paycor! Kickoff is at 8:15pm and will have temperatures around 35°. It will stay dry but cool with temperatures around freezing much of the evening.

Clouds will come in overnight into Monday ahead of our next weathermaker. Rainfall will move in late in the day on Monday, more so overnight into early Tuesday. We will keep tracking this as we get closer so check back for the latest throughout the weekend. Rain totals will likely range between 0.25” to 0.50”.

We will dry out into Tuesday evening and stay dry until late Wednesday. Periods of heavier rain and maybe even a few snowflakes will be possible later in the day on Thursday. We will continue to watch this as we get closer.
