Isolated showers and heat linger in Cincinnati on Sunday, with more heat and humidity ahead before a strong cooldown arrives midweek.
What to expect Sunday
– Morning across southeast Indiana is a mix of clouds and sun, with a largely quiet setup for the day.
– Showers and a few thunderstorms are already rotating in from Indiana and Illinois and could spill into parts of southeast Indiana this morning. Most of the day should stay mostly dry, but a few pop-up showers are possible later this afternoon and evening.
– Highs will push into the upper 80s to near 90s, with heat indices finding the mid-to-upper 90s. If you’re sensitive to heat, plan for limited time outdoors and take breaks in the shade or indoors.
Tonight into Monday
– Tonight: muggy and warm, with a low around 73 degrees and dew points staying high, which keeps the night warm and uncomfortable for many.
– Monday: not as hot as some forecasts initially suggested, with highs around 90 degrees. Humidity will remain high, so it will still feel hot. A few more isolated afternoon or early evening showers may pop up, but most of the day looks dry.
Regional details and local games
– Reds game today: first pitch around 1:41 PM with temperatures near 88 degrees and humidity in the air. Post-game conditions will be around 90 degrees, and showers remain a remote possibility.
– Cincinnati Open finals: heat is in the forecast tomorrow, with temperatures around 90 to 91 degrees and a stray shower or two possible later in the day.
Tuesday through the middle of next week
– Tuesday looks largely dry with continued heat, with temperatures near 90 and humidity staying high.
– Tuesday night into Wednesday brings a strong cold front. This will usher in a significant cool-down, bringing much lower humidity and noticeably cooler air by Thursday.
Wednesday to the weekend
– Wednesday is the day you’ll notice the biggest change: showers and thunderstorms are most likely as the front passes.
– Behind the front, highs drop into the low 80s, and humidity drops substantially, making Thursday, Friday, and Saturday feel much more comfortable and pleasant.
Overall outlook and takeaways
– The weekend remains hot and humid with scattered pop-up showers, especially during the afternoon.
– A strong cold front on Tuesday night into Wednesday will bring a welcome cooldown and drier air that persists into the latter part of the week.
– If you’re heading to outdoor events, stay hydrated, wear light clothing, and keep an eye on local forecasts for any isolated shower chances.
Positive note
– The midweek cooldown should make outdoor activities much more comfortable, and the humidity relief will be a welcome change for families and fans alike.
