Monday is a 9 First Warning Weather Alert Day due to severe weather. Brandon has a bigger breakdown on the threat HERE.
We are at the final day of a wacky month of July and today will cap the month in the most unlikely way.
July has been a very hot one for much of the Tri-State and will likely go down as one of the top 30 warmest Julys on record in Cincinnati, but today will potentially be our “coolest” day of the month. That cooler air is in part due to the cloud cover across the Tri-State today as well as the showers we saw during the first half of the day. Temperatures today have stayed into the mid to upper 70s in most spots.
There will be a few peaks of sun here or there through the rest of the evening as clouds are clearing out. Humidity levels will continue to be bearable, but that will change as we move into the overnight hours.
Overnight there will be more chances for a few showers as a warm front will move in out of the southwest as we head into the early morning hours of Monday. This front from the southwest brings in more heat and humidity for the start to the workweek. Temperatures Monday will be back into the upper 80s as we see partly to mostly cloudy skies. The big change you will notice is the humidity. Humidity levels will really ramp up as we head into the week and that will bring that oppressive feeling, which we got way too familiar with in July, back for the first week of August.
Monday will be dry for the first half of the day, but by the afternoon storm chances increase and some of these could be strong, possibly severe. With their midday update today, the Storm Prediction Center has upgraded the entire Tri-State and placed them in their Slight Risk for severe weather Monday afternoon. The primary concern is damaging winds of 60 to 65 mph. Right now, the timing for storms looks to be between 5 p.m. until 11 p.m. but we will continue to work to find a more precise timeline as we get closer.
Temperatures will continue to warm up as we head through the remainder of the week. 90s should be back by Wednesday and humidity will make things feel even hotter. Feels like temperatures for Wednesday and Thursday may be back above 100 degrees.
