Dry Day Ahead: Cincinnati Gets a Break from the Rain

The weekend’s steady showers pushed back two Reds games and changed the schedule for the Taste of Cincinnati festival. The National Weather Service in Wilmington now predicts a clear break on Monday, May 25, before the wet spell returns later in the week. Fog will blanket the city early, but it should lift by nine a. m. , leaving mostly cloudy skies for the rest of the day. Temperatures are expected to climb back into the high‑70s and low‑80s, a range that will likely persist through the week. From Tuesday onward, showers and thunderstorms may appear in the afternoons and evenings, with precipitation lingering into Wednesday night before a dry weekend clears up the rain.The Taste of Cincinnati event, scheduled from 11 a. m. to 8 p. m. , should benefit from the drier conditions, offering attendees a better experience after last week’s dampness. While Monday will be calm with light northeasterly breezes, Tuesday brings a 30 % chance of showers and a 70 % chance overnight. Wednesday’s forecast shows an 80 % likelihood of rain and possible thunderstorms after mid‑morning, tapering off by the night. By Thursday, skies are expected to brighten with mostly sunny weather and highs near 82 °F, followed by a pleasant weekend with highs around the mid‑70s.
