CINCINNATI, Ohio – A line of fall storms is pushing into southwest Ohio this weekend, bringing gusty winds, scattered thunderstorms, and locally heavy rain across the Cincinnati metro and Tri-State area. The National Weather Service in Wilmington reports gusts up to 40 mph possible along the I-75 corridor through Sunday afternoon.
According to the National Weather Service, showers and a few thunderstorms will develop late today, spreading across Hamilton, Butler, and Clermont counties. Rain may reduce visibility and cause ponding on busy routes including I-71, I-275, and U.S. 50. Motorists and football fans heading to outdoor events should plan for brief downpours and gusty conditions. Keep decorations and lightweight items secured ahead of the stormy stretch.
Conditions improve Sunday night as the cold front clears the region, ushering in calmer, drier air. Monday brings abundant sunshine and highs near 65°F—a refreshing shift from the humid weekend pattern. Cooler mornings will settle in by Tuesday with lows dipping into the low 40s.
According to meteorologists, the early week will showcase classic fall weather across southwest Ohio, northern Kentucky, and southeast Indiana. Expect crisp mornings, light breezes, and bright skies—ideal for yard cleanup, park outings, and late-October pumpkin patch visits. By midweek, a weak disturbance could brush the area with light showers Tuesday night before dry, mild weather dominates again heading into next weekend.
