Spring Weather Outlook

Spring is looking very active and stormy. With a very active jet stream, temperatures should be above normal in general, although late frosts remain possible in such a pattern. An active spring weather pattern favors severe weather.

Drought does not look likely in the spring in Cincinnati. Soils are currently wet and an active weather pattern favors additional precipitation chances.
