Breaking News, Sports, Weather, and News Updates in Cincinnati

Cincinnati experienced record-breaking heat on Monday, with temperatures soaring to 85 degrees, breaking the old Tax Day record of 84 set in 1976 and 2010. Chief Meteorologist John Gumm reported that this was a whopping 19 degrees above normal for this time of year.

As the day turned into night, a weak cold front moved south of Cincinnati, sparking a few stray showers and storms in Northern Kentucky. One storm in Grant County even prompted a severe thunderstorm warning, although fortunately, there were no reports of damage.

Looking ahead to Tuesday, the front is expected to pivot back north as a warm front, bringing the possibility of more showers and thunderstorms, particularly in the late morning and early afternoon. Highs are forecasted to reach around 80 degrees once again.

However, the real concern comes late Tuesday night and into early Wednesday morning as low pressure moves into the Great Lakes and a cold front approaches. There is a chance for severe weather, with the greatest risk being Wednesday afternoon and early evening.

Despite the stormy weather midweek, conditions are expected to dry out by Thursday night. Cooler air will move in for the weekend, with highs only reaching the upper 50s and lower 60s. Another cold front is expected to bring more showers and storms on Friday morning.
