By Sunday morning in Cincinnati, the forecast already feels like a decision waiting to happen. Later in the day, widespread rain is expected to move into the area—first in the afternoon and continuing through the evening.
The warning is clear: showers, heavy downpours, and thunderstorms are expected throughout the day. If you had outdoor plans on the calendar, Sunday is the day to shift them indoors—or at least build in a backup plan.
This Sunday is a First Alert Weather Day because the rain and storm coverage is expected to be widespread, not just spotty. The main window is afternoon and evening, with conditions building through the day and carrying into the night.
The outlook doesn’t end with Sunday, either. Monday, Memorial Day, is expected to look mostly dry, with only isolated storm chances later in the day. Temperatures are forecast to stay in the low to mid-70s—comfortable enough for grilling, spending time with family, or heading to a park.
Next week stays unsettled. Rain chances are expected every day, with temperatures holding steady in the mid to upper 70s. Toward the end of next week, rain chances are expected to taper off, heading into the weekend when temperatures begin to increase into the low 80s.
For residents planning ahead, it may help to have a weather app ready as the timing shifts through the day. The free FOX19 NOW weather app is available for iPhone and Android.
