After a prolonged cold spell, Cincinnati is set to experience its warmest day in nearly a month on Tuesday, with temperatures expected to reach around 50 degrees. However, the warm weather will be short-lived, as cooler temperatures are forecast for the rest of the workweek and the potential for cold rain over the upcoming Valentine's Day weekend.

Why it matters

The sudden warm-up provides a much-needed respite from the recent frigid conditions, allowing residents to enjoy a brief thaw before the return of colder weather. The potential for cold rain over the holiday weekend could impact outdoor plans and activities.

The details

Temperatures are expected to climb into the 40s by late morning, reaching a high of around 50 degrees in the early afternoon. However, a cold front moving in later in the day will bring clouds and the possibility of a stray shower, especially in the southeastern communities. The cooler weather will return for the rest of the workweek, with overnight lows dipping into the 20s. The weekend forecast includes the potential for heavy rain, which could cause issues for small rivers, creeks, and streams due to snowmelt.

• Tuesday afternoon will be the warmest part of the day, with temperatures reaching around 50 degrees.
• Overnight lows will drop into the 20s for the rest of the workweek.
• Cold rain is expected to move in on Saturday evening and last through Sunday afternoon.

What’s next

The judge in the case will decide on Tuesday whether or not to allow Walker Reed Quinn out on bail.
