Cincinnati, Ohio – Spotty showers and isolated thunderstorms are expected to move across parts of Ohio late Saturday into early Sunday, with the best chances for rain along the Indiana border. Highs will remain in the low to mid-80s before storms develop.
According to the National Weather Service in Wilmington, precipitation chances rise to 40–45% Saturday night for cities including Cincinnati, Richmond, and Brookville. Areas farther east such as Columbus and Chillicothe are expected to see lower rain chances, staying closer to 20%.
Drivers in western Ohio should be prepared for wet pavement late Saturday, especially along I-70 and I-75 corridors near Dayton and Cincinnati. Storms are not expected to be widespread but could bring brief downpours and lightning. Outdoor plans in the Tri-State area may need backup options, particularly after sunset.
The weather service advises residents to stay weather-aware into Sunday morning, when scattered showers could linger before conditions improve. Additional updates will be issued if storms intensify.
