Severe thunderstorm watch issued as storms move into Cincinnati

ALL RIGHT, DAISY, THANKS SO MUCH. GLAD SHE’S SAFE AND SOUND INSIDE A VEHICLE THERE. YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE MOST FRUSTRATING THINGS FOR ME WHEN WE’RE DEALING WITH THESE WEATHER ELEMENTS AND THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS I ALWAYS SAY IS THE WIND. WHEN THAT THING, WHEN IT WHIPS THROUGH TO START A SYSTEM, KEVIN ALWAYS SAYS THE WINDS HAVE CHANGED. BRINGING DOWN TREES AND CAUSING ALL KINDS OF PROBLEMS. THAT’S WHAT’S GOING TO MAKE A MESS AND DOES MAKE A MESS FOR THOSE POWER CREWS WHO NO DOUBT ARE GOING TO BE WORKING THROUGH THE NIGHT TONIGHT. HERE’S KEVIN ROBINSON WITH AN UPDATE ON WHAT YOU’RE ALSO GOING TO BE FACING IN THE MORNING BECAUSE OF THE HEAVY RAIN RETURNS. YEAH. AT THIS POINT THOSE GUSTY WINDS WITH THE SUMMERTIME STORMS ALMOST LIKE A WELCOMING CARD, SO TO SPEAK, TO SUMMER AROUND HERE IN THE TRI-STATE. SO HERE WE ARE NOW, RADAR. A LOT QUIETER BUT STILL DEALING WITH RAIN OUT THERE TONIGHT. OKAY. BUT WE’RE NO LONGER FACING ANY REAL ADDITIONAL SEVERE CONCERNS THROUGH THE NIGHT TONIGHT. WE DO HAVE THOUGH, SOME DOWNPOURS SOUTH OF INDEPENDENCE HERE IN KENTON COUNTY. THIS WILL LIKELY CONTINUE TO TRACK ITS WAY UP. PROBABLY GOING TO GET AWFULLY CLOSE TO ALEXANDRIA OVER THERE ON 27 AND THEN MAYBE TOWARDS THE OHIO RIVER, OVER TOWARDS NEW RICHMOND HERE SHORTLY. THERE’S ADDITIONAL ACTIVITY ALSO AS ONE HEADS FARTHER SOUTH IN THE DIRECTION OF LOUISVILLE, YOU CAN SEE THESE DOWNPOURS AND STORMS ROLLING THEIR WAY UP THROUGH PARTS OF OWEN SOON INTO GRANT COUNTIES. WATCH OUT AROUND THE DRY RIDGE AREA. SOME RAIN AND THUNDER COMING YOUR WAY, AND THAT’S GOING TO BE AROUND THROUGH THE NIGHT. AGAIN, I’M NOT WORRIED ABOUT SEVERE WEATHER MOVING FORWARD. HOWEVER, DON’T BE SURPRISED IF YOU KNOW IF YOU’RE KIND OF SLEEPING LIGHT, YOUR EYES ARE CLOSED AND YOU MIGHT SEE A BRIGHT FLASH OUT YOUR WINDOW. THERE WILL BE SCATTERED DOWNPOURS AND RUMBLES OF THUNDER EXPECTED TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE NIGHT TONIGHT. ALTHOUGH IT IS, IT IS NOT EXPECTED TO BE THE SEVERE NATURE OUT THERE. SO HERE’S A LOOK AT YOUR NEXT SIX HOURS. TEMPERATURES ARE AROUND 70. WE WILL SLOWLY SLIP THROUGH THE 60S HERE TONIGHT WITH RAIN CONTINUING. HERE’S FUTURECAST. YOU CAN SEE THAT ACTIVITY TO OUR SOUTHWEST. IT WILL MOVE UP ACROSS MUCH OF THE TRI-STATE AND AGAIN COULD HAVE A FEW RUMBLES OF THUNDER THROUGH THE NIGHT. I STILL EXPECT FOR IT TO BE WET FOR THE MORNING COMMUTE TOMORROW, EVEN IF IT’S NOT RAINING HEAVILY ACROSS THE AREA. YOUR WEDNESDAY PRETTY MUCH LOOKS LIKE A WASHOUT WITH RAIN OFF AND ON. ESSENTIALLY ALL DAY. GOT A LITTLE STORM CENTER THAT’S GOING TO RIDE THROUGH THE REGION, AND YOU CAN SEE FOR YOUR EVENING COMMUTE, RAIN STILL HAVING AN IMPACT OUT THERE AND EVEN INTO THE EVENING TOMORROW, RAIN WILL LIKELY CONTINUE BEFORE WE SLOWLY TRY TO DRY IT OUT. GETTING INTO THURSDAY MORNING. SO THAT SEEMS TO BE THE OUTLOOK KIND OF FOR US MOVING FORWARD IS IT’S WET TOMORROW, WET TOMORROW NIGHT. AND THOSE RAIN CHANCES UNFORTUNATELY ARE STILL STICKING AROUND THROUGH THE MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND TOO. SO RIGHT NOW, 71 DEGREES OFFICIALLY AT THE AIRPORT, LET ME SHOW YOU TEMPERATURES. MOST OF US ARE BETWEEN 65 AND 70. AND THE WARMEST PART OF YOUR HUMP DAY IS LIKELY TO BE HERE IN THE NEXT 40 MINUTES. COMING UP AT MIDNIGHT. BECAUSE I THINK WITH STEADY SHOWERS MOST OF THE DAY, TEMPERATURES PROBABLY AREN’T GOING TO MOVE MUCH BETWEEN 65 AND 70. SO IT’S HUMID WITH DOWNPOURS AND SOME RAIN CONTINUING THROUGH THE NIGHT. TOMORROW, 70 OFF AND ON RAIN. IT WILL TURN COOLER LATE IN THE DAY WITH BREEZY WITH BREEZES PICKING UP AS COOLER AIR MOVES IN. HERE’S A LOOK AT YOUR PLANNER. I LEFT THE IMPACT ICONS ON THERE PRETTY MUCH FROM START TO FINISH THROUGHOUT THE DAY WITH THOSE OFF AND ON. RAIN CHANCES LIKELY STICKING AROUND AGAIN. I DON’T SEE A PART OF THE DAY THAT’S DRIER THAN THE NEXT. HERE’S A LOOK AT YOUR SEVEN DAY FORECAST. SO A LITTLE COOLER IN HERE ON THURSDAY. WE’RE IN THE UPPER 60S MID TO UPPER 60S. RAIN CHANCES MOVE RIGHT BACK IN HERE FOR US ON FRIDAY. THAT’S THE NEXT WEATHER IMPACT DAY. SO RAIN CHANCES WILL ALSO STICK AROUND THROUGH MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND. UNFORTUNATELY. MIKE AND SHEREE, I WAS SAYING THIS EARLIER, I STILL THINK IT’S A LITTLE TOO EARLY TO CALL IT A WASHOUT, AND I SUSPECT WE ARE GOING TO SEE MORE CHANGES IN THE WEEKEND FORECAST SIMPLY BECAUSE THERE’S A FRONT IN OUR VICINITY. SO THAT MEANS TWO THINGS. ONE, IT’S HARD TO PINPOINT EXACTLY WHERE IT WILL RAIN EACH DAY. WE JUST KNOW THAT THERE WILL BE THAT THREAT THERE, BUT THERE WILL ALSO BE SOME DRY TIMES. SO I WOULD ADVISE IF YOU’VE GOT A GRADUATIO
