This week will be a busy one weatherwise in multiple ways. Heat, humidity, and storms are all likely this week and they will create some impacts to you at some point this week. The first impact comes today with the threat of storms.
Spotty showers and a few storms will continue to pop in and out through the afternoon today, but the best chance for rain and storms come in later this evening and overnight. The Storm Prediction Center (SPC) has placed the entire viewing area in a "marginal risk" for severe storms, with areas to the southwest inside a "slight risk." The main threats will be damaging wind gusts, but there is also possibility of large hail and isolated tornadoes.
9 FIRST WARNING: The Storm Prediction Center has expanded the slight risk for severe weather to now include Cincinnati. Our best timing for severe storms would be between 9pm & 3am tonight. Stay alert. #wcpo @wcpo #cincywx pic.twitter.com/MToFERfDaZ

That threat for severe storms is more so late this evening and overnight into Tuesday. e should see another round of showers and storms developing overnight. Storms will develop out to our west and move in after 9 to 10 p.m. The best timing here in the Tri-State will be between 9 p.m. and 3 a.m. The threat of severe weather will continue along with very heavy rainfall for some areas.
While today's high temperature won't be the highest we see all week, humidity will still make things very uncomfortable. Monday's high rises to 84°, possibly 86° if we can get some sun to peak through. However, with the humidity it will feel closer to 90°.
Storms should fade overnight into Tuesday morning with another small chance into the afternoon. The SPC has us in a marginal risk once again on Tuesday, but that threat looks low at this moment. Most of the day will be on the dry side, but the humidity will be brutal. Add that to a high temperature climbing towards 90°, we will see a heat index of 96°+. Oppressive humidity will be immediately evident when you step outside. Dew points are rising into the mid-70s! That really will last the rest of the week as well
Temperatures rise into the mid-90s for Wednesday and Thursday with heat indices over the 100-degree mark. Again, humidity will be very high making it feel like a "wall of water" outside!
