We will see even more cloud cover roll in as we move into the overnight. That, along with a south wind, will keep our temperatures much warmer as you wake up. Lows on Wednesday will be into the mid-50s for many areas.
While we may be greeted by a few showers as we wake up on Wednesday, the better rain chances should wait until the afternoon and evening. Temperatures will stay warm all day, climbing into the upper 70s! Wind will pick up throughout the day, ramping up into the afternoon with gusts of 30-35 mph from the south/ southwest will be likely.
By the midafternoon, showers and storms will hit the Greater Cincinnati area. This is all ahead of a cold front approaching from the northwest. Our last drop of rain at CVG was back on September 25, so this is much needed! However, a few of these storms could be strong, possibly severe. The Storm Prediction Center has the entire Tri-State in a Marginal Risk (Level 1 of 5) for severe weather Wednesday evening. While all threats are possible, the primary concerns would be damaging winds and hail. Of those two, my concern is winds to 60 mph. While storms could begin earlier, the best chance for storms will be after 6 p.m. These should be done by 11 p.m. with some straggling showers on the backside which could linger into the dawn hours of Thursday.
Right now, showers area possible for the first few hours on Thursday morning, then they will fade away into the mid to late morning. From there, we will see temperatures start to fall along with humidity. Highs Thursday will be into the low to mid 60s, but with the wind out of the west we could feel cooler as we move into the evening for BLINK. Temperatures Thursday evening will be in the upper 40s and low 50s, but wind chills will make it seems cooler.
