A heat wave is underway in North America, centered in the great plains of the U.S.. Cincinnati is on the eastern edge of this heat wave. While extreme heat and worsening drought are affecting Texas, with very hot air into Missouri, this pattern will lead to very warm and relatively dry weather in the Ohio valley. Most of the Ohio valley had decent rains last week. Only scattered showers are possible this week along with summertime heat, so things may dry out as the week goes on. Watch plants and new trees for signs of needing water.
