Kicking off a Fall Like Weekend in Cincinnati

CONSTRUCTION IS UPON US, FOR THAT, WE’LL BE WATCHING. OKAY. 518 IT IS FRIDAY. IT IS FRIDAY. FOOTBALL. THAT ALONE GETS EVERYBODY EXCITED. BUT ALSO THIS WEATHER I THINK, IS PUTTING PEOPLE IN THE MOOD FOR IT. RANDI YES, YOU’RE GOING INTO TONIGHT EXCITED NOT BEING LIKE, OH, IS IT GOING TO STORM? AM I JUST GOING TO BE SWEATY AND DISGUSTING THE WHOLE TIME? NO. AND IF GRANDMA AND GRANDPA ARE GOING, I USED TO WORRY ABOUT EXACTLY SITTING OUT THERE. THIS IS A GOOD FIRST GAME, AND IT’S NOT JUST TODAY. IF THE KIDS PLAY TOMORROW. YOUTH SPORTS ON SUNDAY, ALL WEEKEND LONG. THIS IS KIND OF AN AUGUST TREAT. THIS IS NOT WHAT WE TYPICALLY SEE AT THE END OF AUGUST, BUT FOOTBALL WEATHER IS KIND OF TAKING OVER FOR HIGH SCHOOL TONIGHT. STAYING COMFORTABLE AND COOL. TEMPERATURES WILL BE IN THE 70S FOR THE BENGALS TOMORROW. BACK TO NORMAL. OUR TEMPERATURES KIND OF JUMP BACK UP INTO THE LOW AND MID 80S, BUT LOW HUMIDITY IS KEY THERE. AND THEN AS WE GET INTO SUNDAY FOR THE YOUTH LEAGUE, SOCCER, FOOTBALL, WHATEVER YOU HAVE GOING ON AN EARLY MORNING FRONT MEANS A COOLER DAY AND MINIMAL RAIN CHANCES, IF ANY. THIS IS PROBABLY GOING TO COME THROUGH AS A DRY FRONT FOR US, BUT YOU’LL NOTICE NEXT WEEK IS EVEN COOLER. IN FACT, TAKE A LOOK HERE. THE OUTLOOK FOR THE END OF AUGUST AND INTO EARLY SEPTEMBER. TEMPERATURES TRENDING BELOW AVERAGE FOR US, AND REALLY FOR MUCH OF THE REGION. SO AS WE TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT’S GOING ON THIS MORNING, NOT A WHOLE LOT OF ACTION ON THE RADAR. YESTERDAY, WE HAD THE VERY LIGHT SPRINKLES THAT CAME THROUGH AT TIMES, BUT GENERALLY IT WAS JUST CLOUDY SKIES AND THAT KEPT US ON THE COOL SIDE THIS MORNING, STARTING OUT WITH PARTLY TO MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES AND TEMPERATURES THAT ARE IN THE 60S. WE HAVE SOME LOWER 60S OUT THERE TO THE NORTH OF WESTCHESTER AND HAMILTON AT 6467 CLOSER TO DOWNTOWN AND 68 RIGHT NOW IN BETHEL. IT’S GOING TO BE A DECENT LITTLE FRIDAY HERE. AS WE TAKE A LOOK AT THE 12 HOUR FORECAST, OUR TEMPERATURES IN THE 60S FOR THE MORNING RUSH, LOW 70S AT LUNCHTIME. AND THEN WE’LL MAKE A RUN AT 80. MOST PLACES WILL END UP SOMEWHERE UPPER 70S TO RIGHT AROUND 80 DEGREES. KIND OF DEPENDS ON HOW MUCH SUNSHINE YOU GET IN THE AFTERNOON. BUT CHECK OUT THAT 7:00 TEMPERATURE TONIGHT RIGHT AROUND 77 DEGREES. SO THE FUTURECAST FOR TODAY SHOWS THOSE LINGERING CLOUDS AROUND THROUGH THE MORNING. I’M NOT GOING TO RULE OUT MAYBE A STRAY LITTLE BIT OF DRIZZLE, BUT I THINK FOR MOST OF US, YOU’LL NOTICE ONCE WE GET INTO THE AFTERNOON STARTING TO SEE THOSE SKIES LIGHTEN UP A LITTLE BIT, AND BY TONIGHT IT SHOULD BE A GREAT NIGHT FOR HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL. SO LET’S TAKE A LOOK AT THE FORECAST FOR TODAY. WE’RE GOING TO BE AT ABOUT 79 DEGREES. EXPECT TEMPERATURES OVER THE WEEKEND TO CLIMB TOMORROW 84 DEGREES TOMORROW AFTERNOON. AND FOR TOMORROW NIGHT’S FC CINCINNATI MATCH SHOULD BE AROUND 82 AT KICKOFF 70 POST MATCH AND THEN INTO SUNDAY AND EARLY MORNING. FRONT SENDS TEMPERATURES DOWN. WILL BE IN THE 70S ON SUNDAY AND CHECK OUT NEXT WEEK. OVERNIGHT LOWS DOWN INTO THE 50S. SO WE’VE HAD SOME COOL AFTERNOONS, SOME COOL STARTS NEXT WEEK. KATIE. ALL RIGHT. THANKS. RANDI BREAKING RIGHT NOW. U.S. 50 CLOSED IN BOTH DIRECT
