CINCINNATI — Overnight should be relatively dry but also damp. Skies will be mostly cloudy and that keeps our temperatures warm. We only expect our low temperature to dip to 63°.
A few showers are possible at times through the day on Thursday, but it won't be a washout. Clouds will linger through the day as well. Our highs will stay in the mid 70s, which is average for this time of the year. Rainfall should stay minimal.
Friday's big story is the return of more widespread rain as the remnants of Hurricane Helene move into the Ohio Valley. Rain may be heavy at times, but we will also have strong winds as the center of the storm nears. Our winds will be from the northeast at 20 to 25 mph with gusts up to 40 mph, maybe stronger.
Showers will be in for much of the day, potentially giving us around a half inch or more of rain in the Tri-State. The heaviest should fall south of the Ohio River.
The rain will be back at times on Saturday as well, with the center of the storm moving back over the area. Rainfall totals will be between 1 to 2 inches, with some areas seeing as much as 3 inches.
