Cincinnati, OH – A wall of fog hugs the Ohio River this morning, cutting visibility to near zero in spots across Cincinnati, Covington, and along I-71. The damp chill feels more like winter’s doorstep than late fall, setting the tone for a busy Thanksgiving travel week ahead.
The National Weather Service reports dense fog and poor visibility through midmorning before a warm, moist air mass pushes north. Skies will stay gray as temperatures climb into the mid-50s by afternoon, followed by a sharp uptick in rain chances Monday night into Tuesday.
Expect widespread rain Tuesday, heavy at times, as a strong cold front moves through the Ohio Valley. Rain totals may approach half an inch, and slick roads could cause delays for early travelers heading north or east toward Columbus or West Virginia.
By Wednesday, drier air returns under partly sunny skies, though temperatures dip back to the low 50s. Thanksgiving Day looks ideal — cool, mostly sunny, and calm — perfect for travel or a crisp morning walk before dinner.
Looking ahead to the weekend, cooler weather builds in, with highs in the 30s by Friday and possible rain/snow mix late Saturday as another system approaches.
5-Day Outlook:
- Tuesday: Rain, 61°F.
- Wednesday: Partly sunny, 52°F.
- Thanksgiving Day: Mostly sunny, 38°F.
- Friday: Sunny, 36°F.
- Saturday: Chance of rain/snow, 40°F.
