We are into the final few days of October but it won't feel like it. After a fall-like weekend, we have some much warmer weather on the way. And of course, all eyes are on Thursday for Halloween.
Today started off chilly with morning temperatures in the 30s and low 40s. However, winds from the south will continue to draw in warmer air and a few more clouds. High temperatures this afternoon will be back into the low 70s after a few days in the 60s. The average for today is 62°. Additionally, after some morning sunshine, we will see clouds roll in for the afternoon and evening.
Clouds will stick around overnight, which act as a blanket to our atmosphere. Combined with a south wind, those clouds will help keep our temperatures well above normal as we only drop into the upper 50s and low 60s. The average low for this time of the year is 40 to 41°. We will only fall to 58°.
The clouds and warmth will continue into Tuesday, but we also add stronger winds to the equation. Tuesday's highs will be even warmer, into the upper 70s. Our high in Cincinnati will be at 78°. Winds will be from the south at 15 to 20 mph, with gusts as strong as 30 mph at times. After a few clouds in the morning, we will see a mix of sun and clouds for the afternoon. That 78° high is on par for mid-September temperature rather than late October. Wednesday has a shot to be even warmer, climbing up to 79° with a shot at 80°.
The big story is Halloween and a chance at some rain. The impacts all come from a cold front, which will slowly move into and through the Ohio Valley. This will bring a chance for scattered showers late in the morning and through the afternoon, possibly evening. Timing will be paramount, so continue to check back as we get clouds. As of today, it looks like the best chances will be between 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.
