Dayton ties record high temp today; warm, wet weather likely through Wednesday

It’s a wet start to the workweek with a chance of rain every day through Wednesday as temperatures continue to stay warmer than usual. By Thursday morning, most of the area will have received 1.5 to 2 inches of rainfall, according to the NWS.

Isolated rain is possible throughout the day today, with heavier rainfall and thunder also possible. However, no hazardous weather is forecast. Rainfall should remain less than an inch today. Gusty winds of 20 to 25 mph also are possible this afternoon.

The record high for today in Cincinnati is 70, set in 2008.

Overnight, temperatures will drop into the upper 30s to upper 40s.

Widespread rain is expected again throughout Tuesday and into the night with as much as an inch to 1.5 inches of rainfall in some areas, according to NWS. Wednesday will start off drier, but another round of showers will move in during the evening with about a tenth or two tenths of an inch to fall.

High temperatures on Wednesday will be in the 50s to low 60s. Slightly cooler area moving into the area will bring the chance for temperatures to dip back below freezing overnight Wednesday and into Thursday for the first time in about a week, according to NWS.

Dry conditions Thursday last through New Year’s Eve evening as more widespread rain moves through the area again. Rain will continue overnight and into Saturday before tapering off New Year’s Day evening. Heavier showers are possible, but estimated totals are not available yet.

Colder temperatures will return with the new year, with falling temperatures expected on Sunday. A chance of a rain and snow mixture is briefly possible Sunday night before conditions dry out by daybreak Monday.
