More storm chances on the way today

THE SOUTH ATTACH THE SYSTEM THAT WE HAD SEEN. RANDI: YESTERDAY THEY HAD STRONG STORMS AND TODAY THAT WE IS WHERE THE FOCUS OF THE BIG STORM THREAT. OBVIOUSLY WE HAD HEAVY RAIN AND LIGHTNING, AND WE PICKED UP ABOUT AN INCH OF RAIN AN HOUR AND A HALF -- IN AN HOUR AND A HALF AT THE AIRPORT. LUCKILY, THINGS ARE LIGHTENING UP. THAT MAIN RIGHT OF -- LINE OF RAIN LIFTING NORTH OF I-70 AND WE WILL GET IN ON SEVERAL HOURS OF DRIER WEATHER THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE AFTERNOON. OVER THE LAST TWO HOURS WE HAVE SEEN THE HEAVY RAIN DRIFT NORTH AND RIGHT NOW THE FOCUS IS GENERALLY FROM BLUE ASH NORTH. LET US START OUT UP TOWARD SPRINGBORO WHERE THERE ARE A COUPLE OF AREAS OF LIGHT RAIN 75 CORRIDOR FROM MIAMISBURG DOWN INTO FRANKLIN AND MIDDLETOWN. WE WERE LOOKING AT LIGHT RAIN SHOWERS. BACK TOWARDS HAMILTON, LATE TO MODERATE -- LIGHT TO MODERATE RAIN. GETTING INTO THE NORTHERN PART OF THE 275 LOOP, WESTCHESTER INTO MASON AND LOOKING AGAIN LIKE LIGHT RAIN. MUCH LIGHTER THAN THE 9:00 TO 10:00 A.M. TIME FRAME WHEN YOU HAD INTENSE RAINFALL AND LIGHTNING. FURTHER SOUTH FROM UNION TO BATAVIA, ALL THE WAY DOWN TO A COUPLE OF STRAGGLERS SHOWERS TOWARDS BETHEL. ONCE YOU CROSS INTO KENTUCKY AND SOUTHEASTERN INDIANA, THINGS HAVE QUIETED DOWN, AND WE WILL GET IN ON DRY HOURS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE AFTERNOON WHICH WILL HELP BOOST OUR TEMPERATURE, BUT WE ARE NOT TOTALLY DONE WITH THE RAIN YET. THIS IS A LARGE SYSTEM, AND A COLD FRONT HAS TO SWING THROUGH, SO THAT WILL RAMP UP OUR RAIN CHANCES AGAIN TOWARDS THE LATE AFTERNOON AND INTO THE EVENING. AS WE LOOK AT THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT, THE BULK OF THAT WILL STAY DOWN IN PORTIONS OF MISSISSIPPI AND ALABAMA. FOR US, A MARGINAL THREAT WITH SOME STORMS WITH THE FRONT, MAYBE GUSTY WIND THAT WOULD BE THE MAIN CONCERN FOR US AS WE HEAD INTO THE EVENING HOURS. THROUGH THE NEXT 45 MINUTES OR SO AND GET TOWARDS 1:00, THE WIDESPREAD RAIN CONTINUES LIFTING NORTH WITH MOST TOWNS DRYING OUT QUICKLY AFTER 1:00 P.M. DURING THAT TIME OF 1:00 UNTIL 4:00 IT WILL BE CLOUDY. THAT IS YOUR DRIEST TIMEFRAME. INTO THE EVENING HOURS, WE ARE STARTING TO SEE SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS DEVELOPING AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT AND GUSTY WIND INTO THE EVENING, SPECIFICALLY IF YOU ARE TO THE SOUTHEAST OF I-71. FUTURECAST SHOWS THAT THE RAIN IS MOVING OUT IN THE CLOUDS ARE STICKING AROUND FOR A COUPLE OF DRY HOURS. AS THE FRONT ORGANIZES TO OUR WEST, RAIN CHANCES PICKUP CLOSER TO 4:00 OR SO. YOU WILL NOTICE 5:30, SCATTERED RAIN OR STORMS, THE FRONT A LITTLE MORE DEFINED TOWARD 7:00 AND EIGHT :00, ESPECIALLY AREAS TOWARDS THE SOUTHEAST. I WILL EXPECT IT TO BE AREAS SOUTHEAST OF BI-71. WHEN THE COLD FRONT PUSHES -- I-71. WHEN THE COLD FRONT PUSHES THROUGH EXPECT RAIN AND WINDY CONDITIONS INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING. WE WILL NOT BE CLEAR UNTIL AFTER THE SUN COMES UP ON WEDNESDAY. RIGHT NOW YOU CAN SEE THE RAINDROPS, BUT THINGS ARE DRYING OUT. 65 DEGREES, WINDY GUSTING AT 25 MILES AN HOUR OVER THE LAST FEW HOURS. YOUR DAY PLANNER THROUGH THE AFTERNOON BRINGS THOSE TEMPERATURES UP INTO THE LOW 70’S AS WE HIT THE LULL IN THE ACTION BUT THEN THE RAIN PICKS UP INTO THE EVENING. TOMORROW FOR ANY PLANS YOU HAVE, THE RAIN FADES EARLY WITH CLOUDS IN THE AFTERNOON AND WE WILL HAVE SUNSHINE LATE IN THE DAY. TONIGHT, RAINING GUSTY WIND DIPPING TO 50. TOMORROW, 60 FOR A HIGH, THURSDAY AND FRIDAY WITH SPOTTY SHOWERS AND FOR MOTHER’S DAY WEEKEND, PLAN ON RAIN FROM SATURDAY ARO
