The folks of Cincinnati and the Tri-State had another stellar day Wednesday, but changes are on the way.
Skies stay clear through the overnight, but we will also see cooler temperatures. Lows tonight will dip into the mid to upper 20s, right at 28°. That is technically 5-degrees above normal.
Thursday starts dry, but as we move into the afternoon get that umbrella ready. Clouds will ramp up as we head through the morning as temperatures warm into the upper 40s. Rain is expected as early as 3 p.m. for areas of Northern Kentucky and Indiana, but will be closer to 4 to 5 p.m. for the metro. This just builds as we head into the evening and overnight into Friday.
Rain will be heaviest overnight into Friday as the main push of moisture comes in. While the heaviest rain should move out before the morning rush on Friday, wet roads are to be expected.
Looking ahead to Friday, we'll have a mixed bag. The cold front passes through in the early morning, which will clear us in time for the morning drive. The temperatures don't really respond to the front, because our highs will be quite warm. Temperatures climb into the mid-to-upper 50s earlier in the day, with a high near 58°. We may see a few showers early, then there will be a break before the late day showers build again between 2 to 6 p.m. It won’t be a washout, but enough to need the umbrella for the afternoon.
