Heat, humidity and poor air quality will continue to prevail in the Cincinnati area for the remainder of Father’s Day weekend.

The National Weather Service in Wilmington issued a hazardous weather outlook Saturday afternoon for several Greater Cincinnati counties, including Butler, Warren, Hamilton and Clermont counties in Ohio; Boone, Kenton and Campbell Counties in Kentucky; and Dearborn, Ohio and Switzerland in Indiana.

The advisory warns of warm and humid conditions forecast for much of the coming week. According to the warning, heat and humidity will combine to bring heat indexes around 100 degrees Monday through Friday.

In addition, the Southwest Ohio Air Quality Agency will issue an air quality warning, which will go into effect Sunday at noon and last until 11:59 PM on Monday. The warning says the air quality index could reach the threshold of being unhealthy for sensitive groups.

That alert affects Butler, Clermont, Clinton, Hamilton and Warren counties in Ohio; Boone, Campbell and Kenton counties in Kentucky; and Dearborn County in Indiana.

High temperatures for Monday and Tuesday are expected to peak in the mid-90s in the Ohio River Valley, which could break daily record highs for the region, according to a statement from the National Weather Service. Nighttime temperatures will remain warm, dropping into the mid 70s.
