Cincinnati weather: Gusty wind, lightning, hail possible Wednesday



DELIVERIES. IT’S AMAZING EVERYTHING STRAIGHT TO YOUR DOOR THESE DAYS SO THE CONVENIENCE THAT WE HAVE TODAY. IT’S VERY NICE. WELL, WE’VE BEEN THINKING SOME OF OUR REPORTERS OUT IN SOME WINDY CONDITIONS NONETHELESS. IT’S STILL VERY NICE OUT. YEAH, YOU CAN’T COMPLAIN TOO MUCH ABOUT THE WEATHER. WE’RE HAVING TODAY, BUT THOSE CHANGES ARE COMING. LET’S GET OVER TO CHIEF METEOROLOGIST. KEVIN ROBINSON KEVIN WHEN WE EXPECTING EVERYTHING WELL SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS STARTING TO RETURN TOMORROW. IN FACT, REALLY THE NEXT TWO DAYS. WE’LL LOOK PRETTY WET AT TIMES. IT WON’T RAIN THE ENTIRE TIME, BUT YOU DO NEED THE EXPECT WET WEATHER AND CERTAINLY NEED THE UMBRELLA’S HANDY AND IF YOU’VE GOT OUTDOOR PLANS WELL TRYING TO FIGURE THEM OUT AROUND THE RAIN WILL PROBABLY BE YOUR TOUGHEST JOB THE NEXT FEW DAYS. SO HERE WE ARE RAIN THREAD IS HIGH TOMORROW AND THEN VERY HIGH. AS WE HEAD INTO THE DAY ON THURSDAY, FORTUNATELY THIS ALL GETS OUT OF HERE JUST IN TIME FOR THE WEEKEND NOW WITH THE RETURN OF THE WARMER TEMPERATURES. OBVIOUSLY, WE’RE GETTING INTO THAT TIME OF THE YEAR WHERE WE START HAVE TO THINKING. OUT SOME STRONGER STORMS AND WHILE I’M NOT EXPECTING A HUGE THREAT OF SEVERE WEATHER TOMORROW, I WOULDN’T RULE OUT A STRONG STORM OR TWO SINCE WE ARE IN A MARGINAL RISK AND WITH TEMPERATURES CLOSE TO 80 THAT MAY BE JUST ENOUGH TO FUEL A FEW STRONGER STORMS. OBVIOUSLY, THE GREATEST IMPACT WOULD BE RAIN AND THE POTENTIAL WOULD BE THERE FOR MAYBE A FEW STRONGER SEVERE WIND GUSTS WITH ANY OF THE MOST STRONG THE STRONGEST STORMS TOMORROW AFTERNOON AND EVENING. I’LL BE AT THEY’LL BE SCATTERED. BUT IF YOU FIND YOURSELF UNDERNEATH ONE OF THEM, THEY COULD BE LOCALLY INTENSE. SO SO SPRINGTIME WEATHER CERTAINLY RETURNING TO THE TRI-STATE 80 DEGREES OUTSIDE. THERE’S THOSE WINDS THEY’RE SUSTAINED OUT OF THE SOUTH AND SOUTHWEST YOU COUPLE THAT SOUTHWEST WIND WITH THAT APRIL SUNSHINE. AND YEAH, WE WERE AT 80 THIS AFTERNOON. YOU CAN SEE WE’VE GOT MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES. JUST SOME HIGH CLOUDS DRIFTING ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY THIS EVENING AND TONIGHT THAT WILL LEAVE BEHIND A FANTASTIC LATE APRIL EVENING FOR US. IN FACT TEMPERATURES GENERALLY AROUND 70 THROUGH 10 O’CLOCK AND MUCH LIKE LAST NIGHT TONIGHT’S GOING TO BE EVEN MILDER. IN FACT LOWE’S TONIGHT NOT GOING TO FALL OUT OF THE 60S FOR US. SO ENJOY THE MILD AND DRY WEATHER WHILE AT LAST BECAUSE ALL OF THAT GOES AWAY TOMORROW, AT LEAST THE DRY WEATHER DOES SO HERE WE ARE QUIET WHILE SLEEP TOMORROW MORNING STARTS RELATIVELY QUIET. IT LOOKS LIKE THE BEST THREAT FOR ANY SHOWERS AND STORMS WON’T MOVE IN HERE UNTIL AFTER LUNCHTIME TOMORROW, AND THAT’S WHY I THINK HE GIVES US A LITTLE OPPORTUNITY TO WARM UP DURING THE FIRST HALF OF THE DAY, BUT DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HERE COMES SOME OF THOSE SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS. THEY’LL IMPACT THE EVENING COMMUTE AROUND THE AREA. SO KEEP THAT IN MIND AND THEN I ACTUALLY THINK THERE’S A LITTLE BIT OF A LULL. AFTER THE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING SHOWERS AND STORMS. I THINK WE’RE GONNA SEE SOME SOME OF THIS GO AWAY, BUT IDEA HERE OR THE THEME BASICALLY IS THE SAME. I WOULDN’T HANG ON AS MUCH AS TO THE TIMING, BUT I DO THINK OFF AND ON SHOWERS AND STORMS OR IN THE FORECAST OVERNIGHT WEDNESDAY AND BASICALLY INTO THE DAY ON THURSDAY. IT WILL BE THURSDAY NIGHT BEFORE WE START TO BECOME COMPLETELY RAIN FREE. SO PARTLY CLOUDY TONIGHT BREEZY VERY MILD 64 THAT’S PRETTY CLOSE TO OUR AVERAGE HIGH THIS TIME OF THE YEAR, WHICH IS IN THE UPPER 60S. TOMORROW MOSTLY CLOUDY SCATTERED STORMS STILL WARM. IT’S A WEATHER IMPACT DAY. LOOK FOR AN AFTERNOON HIGH OF AROUND 81 SO YOU DON’T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT RAIN FOR THE MORNING COMMUTE. HOWEVER, YOU DO HAVE TO BE MORE CONCERNED ABOUT SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS AND FOR A WET RIDE HOME TOMORROW EVENING. HERE’S A LOOK AT YOUR SEVEN DAY FORECAST. SO THERE’S YOUR NEXT TWO DAYS WEATHER IMPACT DAYS NOTICE ON THURSDAY TEMPERATURES COME DOWN WITH AN ABUNDANCE OF CLOUDS AND MORE WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND STORMS AND IT’S A LITTLE BIT COOLER THERE TO START THE WEEKEND, BUT THIS TIME OF THE YOU CAN ALWAYS ANTICIPATE A FAST WARM-UP LOOK AT THAT FROM 39, MAYBE SATURDAY MORNING TO ALMOST 70 BY SATURDAY AFTERNO
