A few showers and gray cloudy skies will linger throughout the rest of this Memorial Day weekend in Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky, according to the National Weather Service in Wilmington.
Some isolated light bouts of rainfall, primarily in the afternoon, will pass over Cincinnati on May 24. The greatest chance for showers is between 1 and 5 p.m., according to the weather service.
More rain is likely in the southeast stretches of the region, along and southeast of Interstate 71. In areas such as Clermont County, heavy showers and thunderstorms have the potential to lead to rapid rises on creeks and streams as well as some flooding.
The upside? A slightly rainy Sunday lends itself to a drier (and warmer) Memorial Day Monday.
Rain will be limited to along and south of the Ohio River on Monday, with temperatures hovering around the upper 70s for most of the daytime hours.
