After a dreary Christmas Day and a cloudy start today, we have seen some nice sunshine! Enjoy it because we don't have much sunshine between now and the end of the year.
With the added sunshine, temperatures have climbed into the mid-50s this afternoon, anywhere from 10 to 15 degrees above average for today's date. Today's winds aren't too strong, gusting from the southeast at 5 to 10 mph. As I mentioned, soak up this sunshine!
As we move into the overnight tonight we have the start of our next system. Clouds will build overnight tonight, becoming mostly cloudy by sunrise. That cloud cover acts like a blanket, keeping our lows well above normal into the upper 30s and low 40s. Look for a low of 40° in Cincinnati, which is 14-degrees above our daily normal.
Friday should start dry, but mostly cloudy but from there we have several rain chances as we head through the day and into the weekend. Temperatures Friday stay mild, with a high of 54° with a south wind at 10 to 15 mph.
Rain for the weekend seems to be a bit of a mixed bag. Models have been inconsistent on timing, but do have chances both days. Despite the rain, temperatures this weekend will be quite warm, nearing 60 degrees. You might need the poncho at the Bengals game Saturday but no need for winter gear.
