This week, temperatures around Greater Cincinnati will continue to feel warmer than average for this time of year.
The tri-state area will feel more like late October over the next two weeks, with the National Weather Service reporting a 40-50% chance that temperatures are above normal. There's also the probability of a mild and potentially wet pattern through Christmas.
High pressure will give Greater Cincinnati mostly sunny skies and dry weather through the start of the week, following rain and storms over the weekend, including the devastating tornadoes that ripped several states including the western half of Kentucky.
