- Storm Timing
- Large temperature spread from west to east
- Why does it still feel humid
Showers are storms have arrived in the Tri-State. These are slow moving storms producing very heavy rainfall. This could lead to low visibility on the roads and also ponding. This initial push of storms will continue east of Cincinnati prior to the noon hour. Additional showers and storms will still be possible behind this first line into the early afternoon hours.
Temperatures will be interesting today too. Our western locations will only see highs in the upper 70s because rain arrives earlier for you. Cincinnati is expected to reach the low 80s before we start to cool off. But our eastern towns like Maysville and West Union could still make it to the upper 80s today with oppressive humidity because you’ll wait the longest for rain to arrive.
The final element to address is humidity. Just because you are seeing that our high should be around 83 today, doesn’t mean the humidity is instantly going away. It’s going to storm. That requires moisture, so it’s still very humid outside. You will notice that it isn’t as sticky outside this evening, but it’s a slow process.
Friday’s forecast is when you’ll truly notice that it’s not as hot or humid outside. We’ll start the day at 65 and only warm to 80. By the afternoon, you won’t even notice the humidity, and this will be the case throughout the weekend! Enjoy it!

Relief at Last: Torrential Storms Give Way to Refreshing Cool Breezes Across the Region
Relief Arrives: From Soaking Storms to Cooler Breezes
After days of oppressive heat and relentless humidity, much-needed relief is finally sweeping across large portions of the country. A powerful weather system, bringing with it a cascade of soaking storms and refreshing winds, is transforming the forecast — and the mood — for millions.
The intense heat dome that gripped several regions has begun to break, thanks to a series of thunderstorms fueled by a cold front moving eastward. Overnight, heavy rain drenched cities across the Midwest and Northeast, bringing flash flood warnings but also long-awaited respite to parched communities.
“This is a classic atmospheric reset,” said meteorologist Karen Lewis from the National Weather Service. “The storms are disruptive in the short term, but they’re ushering in a cooler, drier air mass behind them — and that’s the real story.”
In cities like Chicago, Philadelphia, and Atlanta, where temperatures had surged well above seasonal norms, residents woke up to a welcome change: cloud-covered skies, breezy conditions, and a noticeable dip in humidity. Local parks filled with joggers and families eager to enjoy the break in the weather.
For farmers, the timing couldn’t be better. After weeks of dry conditions that threatened crops in parts of the Corn Belt, the recent rains have restored optimism. “It’s exactly what we needed,” said Iowa farmer Ben Harding. “The soil was cracking. Now, it’s finally breathing again.”
While the storms did trigger travel delays, power outages, and downed trees in some areas, emergency services reported no major injuries. Cleanup crews are already at work, as forecasters predict a stretch of cooler, calmer days ahead.
Looking forward, temperatures are expected to remain in the comfortable 70s and 80s Fahrenheit (20s Celsius) across much of the country through the weekend. For millions still recovering from the summer’s searing highs, the message is clear: relief has arrived — and it’s a breath of fresh air
