Showers should start to become less numerous overnight but there will still be the occasional spotty shower. Temperatures will dip into the mid 40s overnight, right around 45°. Wind should stay light around 5 mph from the south which keeps us warm.

Christmas Eve Sunday will arguably be the "best" day over the next few, but it still shows potential for a few isolated showers early in the day. The best timing is before 10 a.m. We'll hold onto those clouds, but mostly cloudy skies could break late day to see some brief sunshine, but don't expect a lot. Our temperatures will be WELL ABOVE normal, climbing towards 60 degrees. For perspective, the average high temperature is 41°. Wind from the south at 5 to 10 mph shouldn't be much of an issue. Skies should be dry for Santa Sunday night but that won't last long.

Monday, Christmas Day, will unfortunately be a very dreary one with plenty of rain, wind, and clouds. At least it will be warm. The high temperature for Christmas Day will be around 57°. Spotty showers may start as early as 8 a.m., but the best rain will be after midday, picking up as the afternoon and evening moves on.

Looking more and more likely that Christmas Day will be a rainy one. We may escape the morning without rainfall, but the afternoon looks like a washout. #WCPO @WCPO #CincyWX #ohwx #nkywx pic.twitter.com/xk36L1RSOq
