Temperatures Fall with More Spotty Showers

CINCINNATI (WXIX) - Colder air continues to settle into the region tonight, and scattered rain showers could begin mixing with a few snowflakes by morning. Friday the 13th could bring a few more flakes, especially later in the day. Most of Friday will actually be dry, including plenty of dry time for high school football playoff matchups. Nothing will stick, and we aren’t expecting any accumulation or slick spots, but you’ll want to bundle up!

The weekend stays cold, but at least we’re drying out. Saturday brings more clouds than sunshine with highs in the mid 40s. If you’re heading to Books by the Banks downtown or checking out the holiday markets at Washington Park, you’ll want the heavier jacket. The annual holiday open house at Rookwood Pottery is also happening this weekend, and thankfully, rain shouldn’t interfere with those plans.

Sunday starts with the potential for patchy dense fog and some of the coldest temperatures we’ve seen this season. A hard freeze is possible in some communities before afternoon temperatures recover into the upper 40s. Bengals fans heading to Paycor Stadium for Sunday night’s game against the Pittsburgh Steelers should plan on bundling up. It’ll be a chilly night for football, but the forecast looks dry.

The new workweek starts chilly with mostly cloudy skies Monday and highs around 50. We’ll gradually turn things around Tuesday as some sunshine returns and temperatures climb into the low 50s. Wednesday looks even better with more sunshine and afternoon temperatures reaching the mid 50s. Rain chances remain out of the picture through the middle of next week.

By the end of next week, we’re looking at a much more comfortable forecast. Highs climb into the upper 50s Thursday and low 60s Friday before potentially reaching the mid 60s next Saturday. Sunshine will mix with clouds, and while a few showers could return next weekend, the overall pattern looks considerably milder than what we’re dealing with right now.
