Tuesday in Cincinnati is pulling a quick costume change. Early this morning, April 21, 2026, clear skies helped temperatures drop into the low 40s at Lunken Field, but a surge of warmer air is set to push afternoon highs into the mid to upper 70s. Southwest winds will crank up as the day goes on, so it will feel breezier than it looks, and scattered showers with a chance of thunderstorms are expected after midnight into Wednesday morning. Think warm, windy daytime weather followed by a soggy, unsettled night.
Afternoon Winds Pick Up
Highs are expected to top out near 77°F with a south wind running from about 3 to 20 mph, and mixing in the atmosphere could drive gusts into the 20s and low 30s this afternoon.
