The end is in sight.

Sunday temperatures won't reach higher than 42 degrees, but it's the latter half of the coming week's forecast that is garnering optimism in Cincinnati.

High temperatures will steadily rise through the week, getting warmer each day, before Cincinnati hits a projected high temperature of 58 degrees on Thursday.

Only a 20 percent chance of rain on Monday night and Tuesday is possible.

Overnight lows will generally be around freezing.
