Ohio – Rain taps steadily on windshields and pools along curbs this morning, slowing traffic across Cincinnati and northern Kentucky as commuters head out. Roads along I-71 and I-75 remain slick, and visibility drops in steady showers.
According to the National Weather Service, rain chances remain high through the morning with precipitation totals adding up quickly before tapering later in the day. Winds from the north gust near 23 mph, keeping conditions damp and cool with highs near 51°F .
Across Cincinnati, Covington, and Florence, expect wet pavement through midday. Allow extra braking distance and watch for ponding in low spots. Conditions gradually improve later as clouds break and skies begin to clear.
Colder air quickly follows. Temperatures drop sharply into the low 30s by early Saturday, setting up a flash-freeze risk where roads remain wet. Bridges and overpasses will be most vulnerable. Plan ahead for slick spots during the early drive.
Saturday delivers a reset with sunshine and highs near 51°F. By Sunday, temperatures climb into the low 60s with partly sunny skies, giving the region a true spring feel.
The bigger shift arrives Monday. Highs reach the low 70s across the Cincinnati metro, but moisture returns. Showers and thunderstorms develop by afternoon and continue into Monday night, potentially impacting evening travel.
Meteorologists are tracking a more active pattern into midweek with additional rain chances.
