Another cool day is in store for the Ohio Valley region. But get ready because the summer heat is right around the corner.
According to the National Weather Service in Wilmington, temperatures will drop down to the mid-40s and lower 50s early Tuesday. This will lead to patchy fog in some local river valleys this morning.

More dry weather is forecast for Wednesday. According to a hazardous weather outlook, temperatures are also expected to rise Wednesday through Monday, with more extreme heat arriving early next week.
