However, some scattered to isolated showers and thunderstorms will be possible mainly over Northern Kentucky and southeastern Indiana. Some showers and storms may linger overnight, but should be very isolated if they occur. Expect highs in the low 80s with dewpoints in the low 60s. Greater Cincinnati should see a similar forecast on Tuesday, Aug. 5, for the start of the Cincinnati Open, which will be held at the Lindner Family Tennis Center in Mason through Aug. 18.
