Heat creeping back this weekend with storms too

Happy Friday! It is gorgeous out there and sunny, but the heat is creeping back up.

The rest of your Friday will be hot, but tolerable. Temperatures are likely to top out in the upper 80s for most communities with humidity staying low. That is the silver lining to today’s heat. Sunshine will continue out there all evening as well.

It will be one more comfortable night tonight with the lower humidity; however, we could see some fog develop as well. Temperatures will be in the upper 50s and low 60s for most. Settling near 62° for Cincinnati. Other than the patchy fog, skies will stay mostly clear.

Sunshine will be there to start our Saturday but expect to see clouds increase as we move through the afternoon and evening. The heat will creep back in as we move into the afternoon with the low 90s for afternoon highs. Humidity will bump up as well. It will be dry but hot for the Cincinnati Pride parade.

Sunday will be the hotter and more humid day of the weekend. It is also the day that storms look more likely as a cold front bring a chance at scattered afternoon showers and storms. Humidity will really spike on Sunday as we climb back into the low to mid 90s. Feels like temperatures will likely be back into the mid to upper 90s.

With all that heat and humidity, I wouldn’t rule out the chance that a few storms become strong or severe. Wind gusts are the primary threat, but right now all forms of severe weather would be possible. We are in the Storm Prediction Center’s Marginal Risk for severe storms.

The cold front that goes through on Sunday will bring a big change in temperatures for the start of next week. Monday’s high temperature should stay in the mid to upper 70s with humidity dropping throughout the day. It will be a nice break for you’re A/C before the heat ramps up late in the week.
