Pop Ups Before the Fireworks

A GREAT DAY TO BE OUT THERE AND HAVING FUN BECAUSE THE WEATHER IS GOING TO WANT YOU TO HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF LEMONADE WITH IT. THAT SOUNDS VERY REFRESHING, RIGHT? AND I DON’T THINK YOU HEAR TOO MANY COMPLAINTS WHEN THE RAIN POPS UP TODAY. JUST BECAUSE IT’LL IT’LL BE BRIEF. IT’LL COOL YOU DOWN. NOW, IF IT’S HAPPENING DURING YOUR PARADE OR AT 9:30 P.M., PROBABLY. OKAY. NOW WE GET A COUPLE OF COMPLAINTS, BUT IN GENERAL, IT’S A HANDFUL OF SPOTS, MULTI DOWNPOURS VERSUS YESTERDAY WHERE THEY’RE PRETTY DECENTLY WIDESPREAD THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. SO RIGHT NOW, AS WE TAKE A LOOK AT THE RADAR, JUST POPPING UP IN THE LAST 15 MINUTES OR SO, YOU CAN SEE A HANDFUL OF DOWNPOURS HERE TO THE SOUTH EAST OF CINCINNATI. THEY’RE ROLLING THROUGH PORTIONS OF BROWN COUNTY, STARTING TO SEE A COUPLE OF SHOWERS DEVELOP AS WE SPEAK RIGHT THERE ALONG ROUTE 68, JUST SOUTH OF MOUNT ORB. WELL, DOWNPOUR JUST ROLLED THROUGH. RIPLEY MOVING OUT OF MANCHESTER. SO FOR TODAY, A POP OF DOWNPOUR IS GOING TO BE A POSSIBILITY. I THINK THIS IS KIND OF A LOCALIZED LITTLE POCKET THIS MORNING. BUT ONCE WE GET INTO THE HEAT OF THE AFTERNOON, A QUICK POP OF DOWNPOURS DEFINITELY GOING TO BE A POSSIBILITY. SO AS YOU PLAN YOUR FAMILY’S 4TH OF JULY FUN, 10 A.M. TURNS IT DOWN. STEP THEIR PARADE AT ABOUT 10:00 THIS MORNING. IT’S GOING TO BE A MUGGY START, RIGHT ABOUT 78 DEGREES, MAYBE YOU WANT TO HIT THE POOL AT NOON WHEN IT OPENS, IT’S GOING TO BE GETTING HOT AT THAT POINT. WE’RE AT 82 DEGREES. ONCE WE ROLL PAST THE LUNCH HOUR, THAT’S WHEN THESE POP UPS BECOME MORE OF A POSSIBILITY. SO AT 4:00, IF YOU’RE HEADED TO RED, WHITE AND BLUE AND LOVED ONES FESTIVAL, GET STARTED AT 4:00. POP UPS ARE POSSIBLE. IT’LL BE STEAMY ABOUT 88 DEGREES AND AROUND 930 OR 10:00 TONIGHT FOR FIREWORKS, MAINLY DRY AND RIGHT AROUND 80. BUT IT’S GOING TO BE A MUGGY ONE. SO FUTURE CAST IS PICKING UP ON OUR EARLY MORNING POCKETS OF RAIN HERE TO THE SOUTH AND EAST. QUICKLY MOVING IT OUT. AND MOST OF THE DAY, JUST WATCHING THAT STEAMY AIR BUILD. RIGHT. SO AT LUNCHTIME, PRETTY DRY AND ISOLATED SHOWER COULD BE POSSIBLE, BUT IT’S REALLY THE MID AFTERNOON AND THOSE WARMEST HOURS WHERE YOU SEE THE BEST CHANCE FOR A FLARE UP DOWNPOUR. NO SEVERE WEATHER WITH THIS, BUT A BRIEF, INTENSE SHOWER THANKS TO ALL THE HUMIDITY IN THE AIR. YOU COULD SEE THERE AROUND AT FOUR AND 5:00, FEWER OF THEM BY ABOUT 7:00 THIS EVENING. AND MOST TOWNS LOOKING DRY TONIGHT AT 10:00. THAT AS WE KNOW, EVERYBODY’S DRY. BUT YOU’RE LOOKING OKAY IN MOST TOWNS FOR TONIGHT’S FIREWORKS DISPLAYS. RIGHT NOW, IT IS 71 DEGREES. THAT DEW POINT SITTING AT 70. SO IT DEFINITELY FEELS MUGGY TODAY IN THE AFTERNOON. THOSE FEELS LIKE TEMPERATURES UP INTO THE LOW NINETIES. SO TODAY, 88 DEGREES HOT AND HUMID FEELING LIKE 93 IN THE SHADE. BUT WE WILL SEE A FEW POP OF DOWNPOURS AS WE GET INTO THE AFTERNOON FOR TOMORROW. 90 DEGREES AND SUNNY THURSDAY IS OUR NEXT WEATHER IMPACT DAY AND I THINK IT’S GOING TO BE BETWEEN ABOUT 3 P.M. AND 7 P.M. THURSDAY EVENING THAT WE HAVE THE POTENTIAL FOR A LINE OF MAYBE SOME STRONGER STORMS TO ROLL THROUGH THE AREA. IT IS A COLD FRONT BRIEFLY DROPS THOSE TEMPERATURES FOR US ON FRIDAY AND THEN OUR HIGH TEMPERATURES STAYING IN THE EIGHTIES THROUGH THE WEEKEND. IF YOU’RE HOPING FOR RELIEF FROM THE HUMIDITY, I REALLY DON’T SEE ANY JULYS HERE AND IT’S GOING TO FEEL LIKE IT ONLY AND IT’S GOING TO FEEL LIKE IT.

Looks like a steamy 4th of July with some pop ups possible in the middle of the afternoon and early evening.
