Widespread and steady rain, which will be heavy at times, moves in late New Year’s Eve through the afternoon of New Year’s Day, according to the National Weather Service in Wilmington.
A respite from the rain is in today’s forecast. It will be mostly cloudy with a high near 51 degrees. Overnight, the low will be around 42.
We just have to ask... Where are you, winter? Why can't we find you? It'll be nowhere in sight before the end of the year. In fact, Cincinnati (KCVG) will likely end December with 23 days w/ temps of at least 50°F, the 2nd most (1889 - 26) in any December at the site on record. pic.twitter.com/yFJN4XiitM
