8/22 Reds Forecast

Synopsis: Good Tuesday morning! Scattered storms are in the forecast today as a cold front approaches the area, bringing the risk for a few severe storms going through the afternoon.  The front will pass tonight with a great forecast once we get into Wednesday, lasting all the way through the upcoming weekend with a high pressure system in control. 

Expect storms to increase on the radar late morning into early afternoon, with the most likely time-frame for storms in Cincinnati from 2pm-6pm based on all of the latest data.  There is a slight risk for severe storms, with isolated damaging wind gusts the greatest threat.  Storm chances will decrease by game-time and there-after, with the greater risk shifting south and east.  The front will not clear the region until ~10pm so we cannot rule out a few additional showers or storms, but things should trend drier through the evening.  Cannot rule out a weather delay.  

Here is a more detailed look at cloud coverage, temperatures, and wind gusts at 8pm this evening.  Note that the rainfall accumulation panel shows the rainfall potential from 2pm-8pm today.  

Wednesday is shaping up to be a very nice day, the first of many to come.  Humidity will be much lower with afternoon highs just shy of 80º.  Winds will be out of the northwest 5-20 mph.

Thursday looks great with just a few more clouds, and afternoon highs staying in the 70s.  Winds will be out of the north 5-20 mph.

Friday looks mostly sunny and pleasant.  Highs will once again be in the 70s with a northeast breeze 5-15 mph.  

More of the same as we go through the weekend, with no weather issues expected.  For Saturday, expect mostly sunny skies with a northeast breeze 5-15 mph.  

Sunday looks to feature a few additional clouds, but it should remain dry with low humidity and highs around 80.  Winds will once again be out of the northeast 5-15 mph.

Heading into next Tuesday, we will keep a ~30% chance of storms in the forecast, although we will note there is uncertainty in the rainfall chances this far out.  Some adjustments can be expected as we get closer. Temperature-wise, staying pleasant with highs near 80 and just a touch more humidity.  

Have a great day, and let us know if you have any questions!
