Christmas Eve has been gloomy for much of the Tri-State with plenty of clouds and some warmth! Get used to both for the final week of 2024.

The remainder of Tuesday will stay cloudy with temperatures into the mid to upper 40s, well above normal for this time of the year. Winds from the west-northwest should stay light around 5 mph with those clouds staying caked in.

Hopefully Santa packed his poncho because he is going to need it tonight. Clouds stick with us overnight with temperatures staying warm as well. The low tonight will only be 41°, which is our average high for today's date.

Rain will build as we head through the morning on Wednesday, becoming slightly widespread for the afternoon and evening. Temperatures will stay mild into the mid-40s, slightly warmer than normal. Rain won't be terribly heavy, but persistent. Rain totals should range from one to two-tenths of an inch.

Once we move past Christmas, we will warm up even more with more of the rain. Showers will be with us early Thursday as our high temperatures climb into the low 50s. From there we make the upper 50s to finish out the week and we could possibly hit the 60-degree mark this weekend, but it will come with rain chances on both days.

High Temperatures for December 25-30, 2024

That includes Saturday's Bengals game, which kicks off at 4:30 p.m. Saturday. At this point, the chance for showers will be with us for most of the game as we have rain for both days this weekend. The high on Saturday is projected for 60° at this time.
