CINCINNATI, Ohio – Low clouds hang over the Queen City this morning, softening the skyline and leaving the air cool and still. Pavement is damp, and wisps of fog drift through river valleys as the Ohio River reflects the first pale hints of sunrise.
The National Weather Service in Wilmington reports a mild, quiet start for early November, though patchy fog could briefly limit visibility across parts of the metro area and nearby highways, especially near I-71 and the Little Miami River basin. Drivers should slow down and use low beams where fog lingers through mid-morning.
Once the haze burns off, sunshine will steadily return with highs reaching near 60°F by afternoon. Monday and Tuesday bring a stretch of classic fall warmth — highs in the lower 60s to mid-60s under mostly clear skies. Light southwest winds will make conditions feel crisp but comfortable, ideal for outdoor work, raking leaves, or early-season holiday prep.
By Wednesday, temperatures may climb toward the upper 60s before the next shift arrives late in the week. Forecast models hint at a return to unsettled weather by Thursday night or Friday, when the first hints of a stronger November front could introduce cooler air — and possibly a few showers.
For now, southwest Ohio enjoys a calm and welcome reprieve. The mild start to November fits a La Niña-driven pattern, where frequent temperature swings dominate early winter. Residents can expect one more week of fall’s friendly side before the region starts feeling hints of the colder season creeping closer.
