End Of Week Excitement

Severe Potential Today and Tonight

Did you see the sun this morning. While it was great to see, it is like adding gasoline to a fire. The sun is great fuel for thunderstorms to develop. Storms need many ingredients and one of them is sunshine.

The Storm Prediction Center of the National Weather Service is monitoring our area for the potential of strong and severe storms this afternoon and evening.

However, keep in mind that these storms are imminent. We just want you to keep and eye on the sky and the blog. As things develop (if they do), we will keep you updated.


See below for the latest watches and warnings.







WATCH THE STORMS MOVE IN





Things Are About To Get Interesting...
The remainder of the week looks to be a little on the "Crazy Side". In fact, it may remind you of that crazy Uncle that you always thought was a little bi-polar.

Thursday and Friday look to have chances for Thunderstorms and Severe Weather and the weekend brings back your favorite friend...SNOW! Yes I said it, and I'll say it again...SNOW...but we'll get to that later!


Friday Sun = Severe Afternoon

Check out the map below. It illustrates where the best chances are for Severe Weather for Friday. We typically see severe weather when we are inside the yellow circle. There seem to be enough dynamics with this storm that we will see Severe Thunderstorm Watches/Warnings in our area with the threat for Hail and Tornadoes.

Don't be surprised if you see the sun come out for part of the day on friday. Typically we all would be happy to see the sun, but given Friday's environment, the sun will cause the storms Friday afternoon to be that much worse. So if you see the sun, you can expect a rough evening of severe weather.

We'll have the Watches and Warnings up for you as they come out. You can use the Interactive Radar on the top Right corner to zoom into your street and watch the storms come in.






April "SNOW" Showers Bring May Flowers?

So....you got a sunburn on Sunday with highs in the 70's and put away the winter coat...Well, "NOT SO FAST MY FRIEND". The cold is about to make a return to the tri-state and we may very well see Snow showers on Sunday and Monday Morning. Now we should not see much of an accumulations, but none the less, the flurries will be flying.

This is all being set up by the strong storm that is moving across the country and will cause the severe weather towards the end of the work week. We'll keep an eye on both and you updated.



WEATHER FORECASTER




Take a look at the interactive weather forecaster. This will be on the page when there is a "lull" in the action for Cincinnati. There is a weekly forecast as well as hour by hour. I will be back with my forecasts and weather commentary when there is a threat for an accumulating snow or severe weather in the area.
