The Heat Is On Still...

HEAT EMERGENCY still in effect for the City of Cincinnati through Monday

5:30 AM (As of 5 AM observations) - CVG 69°, Fair; Lunken 66°, Fog; Hamilton 68°, Fair; Wilmington 65°, Fair

The heat stays on across the area, and the result of this is continued risk for heat illnesses to those who are most vulnerable to the hot temperatures. Heat index values of 95° or higher are possible today and Monday in the city of Cincinnati, and less likely across northern Kentucky.

As we go through the day today look for mostly sunny skies, but a few clouds could form across the area later. There is no chance for rain today. Temperatures should reach 90 degrees.

For tonight, don't look for much if any relief especially from the city south as we get down to the upper 60s.

Monday looks okay if you like sunshine and hot summertime temperatures. The first official full day of summer on Tuesday still looks hot, too. Both days do have some chance of showers and storms, particularly late in the day, and highs will be in the lower 90s. I'm calling for 92 on Monday and 93 on Tuesday. (The city of Cincinnati may have to extend the heat emergency beyond Monday, at least, as heat indices could EASILY reach 100 degrees Tuesday with dewpoints in the lower 70s!)

The next best chance of showers and storms is probably on Wednesday.
