PARADE ROUTE. A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE PAYING ATTENTION TO THE WEATHER FORECAST, THOUGH. THAT’S GOING TO IMPACT A LOT OF THOSE PARADE GOERS. WE ARE UNDER A TORNADO WATCH RIGHT NOW. RANDI, AND THERE’S A LOT THAT IS MOVING OUR WAY. THE TORNADO WATCH GOES UNTIL 10 A.M., AND THE STORMS THAT ARE ON THE WAY IN ARE GOING TO BE WEAKENING AS THEY GET HERE, WHICH IS GREAT. THERE ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE THERE MIGHT BE A LITTLE LOW TOWARD THE LATE MORNING, BUT I CAN’T GUARANTEE IT. IT’S DEFINITELY GOING TO BE WINDY FOR THE PARADE AND ALSO POSSIBLY WET. LET’S GET RIGHT TO THE RADAR AND SHOW YOU WHERE WE’RE ALREADY SEEING SOME EARLY MORNING THUNDERSTORMS THAT HAVE JUST KIND OF FLARED UP IN THE LAST 15 MINUTES OR SO OUT WELL AHEAD OF THE MAIN LINE OF STORMS. YOU CAN SEE THIS IS ONLY A 30 MINUTE TIME LAPSE, AND YOU CAN SEE THE ACTION KIND OF REALLY FLARING UP OVER TOP OF PORTIONS OF CLERMONT COUNTY. RIGHT NOW WE’VE GOT SOME HEAVIER DOWNPOURS CURRENTLY OVER TOP OF NEWTON’S VILLE. ALSO A LOT OF LIGHTNING. IT’S COMING DOWN PRETTY GOOD ALONG ROUTE 50 INTO EASTERN PORTIONS OF CLERMONT COUNTY, A LITTLE BIT FURTHER TO THE NORTH. MORROW JUST GOT POURED ON, AND I ACTUALLY THINK THIS LITTLE SPOT HERE MIGHT HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF TINY HAIL. THERE WAS HAIL REPORTED FROM AN EARLIER THUNDERSTORM OVER IN PREBLE COUNTY, AND IT LOOKS LIKE RIGHT ALONG 71, MAYBE SOME TINY HAIL WITH THAT AS IT MAKES ITS WAY TO VANDERVOORT’S CORNER. I’LL ZOOM THIS OUT SO YOU CAN SEE WHERE IT’S HEADED. AGAIN, THIS IS JUST A 15 MINUTE TIME LAPSE AS IT’S QUICKLY RACING ITS WAY TO THE EAST. SO IF YOU ARE IN CLARKSVILLE, MIDLAND, FAYETTEVILLE, INTO WILMINGTON, THAT QUICKLY DEVELOPING LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS WILL LIKELY BRING YOU SOME RAIN HERE IN THE NEXT 20 MINUTES OR SO. WE HAD SOME RAIN OVER TOP OF GREEN HILLS AND FOREST PARK. THAT’S NOW LIFTED A LITTLE BIT FURTHER TO THE NORTH. IT’S RIGHT ALONG THE BUTLER COUNTY REGIONAL HIGHWAY, ABOUT TO IMPACT THOSE. OF YOU NEAR WEST CHESTER AND LIBERTY TOWNSHIP. AS WE SLIDE BACK TOWARD OXFORD. A QUICK LITTLE DOWNPOUR JUST ROLLED ACROSS THE STATE LINE THERE. SO MIAMI JUST GOT SOAKED. AND THEN AS WE GIVE YOU THE BIG VIEW HERE, YOU CAN SEE SOME ONGOING TORNADO WARNINGS. THESE ARE WELL TO OUR WEST. THEY’RE STILL TO THE WEST OF 65. THE WAY THESE ARE MOVING. TIMING WISE, PROBABLY ANOTHER HALF HOUR BEFORE THEY WOULD BE IMPACTING OUR AREA. SO AGAIN, WE ARE WATCHING THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME TORNADOES. WE’RE DEFINITELY GOING TO GET IN ON SOME STRONG WINDS AS THESE STORMS ROLL IN. LET’S HEAD OVER TO ERICA. AND SHE’S GOING TO TAKE YOU THROUGH THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS. AND WHAT TO EXPECT THE REST OF THIS DAY. YEAH. GOOD MORNING TO YOU. WE ARE STILL GOING TO BE HAVE TO BE PREPARED THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE DAY TODAY. BOTH THIS MORNING AND THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. AND THEN WE TRANSITION TO MORE OF A FLOODING THREAT AS WE HEAD INTO THE EVENING. BUT THAT SEVERE WEATHER THREAT IS STILL HERE THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE DAY. SO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A WAY TO GET THOSE WARNINGS. MAKE SURE YOU KNOW WHERE YOUR SAFE SPACE IS OR YOUR SAFE PLACES IN THE HOUSE. IF WE DO GET UNDER A TORNADO WARNING, THAT WEATHER ALERT DAY IS FOR THE ENTIRE DAY TODAY. OUR FIRST THREAT THIS MORNING. SECOND THREAT INTO THE AFTERNOON. AND THEN I THINK WE HAVE THAT FLOODING THREAT EVEN LATER THIS EVENING. SO YOU CAN KIND OF MAKE IT THREE THREATS TODAY. I EXPECT AT LEAST AN INCH OR TWO OF RAIN. FOR A LOT OF US. WE COULD SEE MORE THAN THAT IN SOME PLACES THAT GET SOME OF THIS RAIN TO TRAIN OR RAIN ON TOP OF EACH OTHER, ESPECIALLY AS WE HEAD INTO THIS EVENING. AND THEN WE ARE GOING TO BE WINDY TODAY. GUSTS UP TO 40MPH OR SO ARE POSSIBLE, AND THAT’S OUTSIDE OF ANY THUNDERSTORM OR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM THAT WE MAY SEE. SO IMPACTS. TODAY WE ARE LOOKING AT HEAVY RAIN, LOTS OF LIGHTNING. THE THREAT FOR FLOODING, ESPECIALLY LATER THIS EVENING. AND THOSE STRONG WINDS AS WELL AS THOSE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNINGS AND PERHAPS SOME TORNADO WARNINGS. NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION. SO WE’LL CONTINUE TO WATCH THAT THAT TORNADO WATCH INCLUDES EVERYBODY SHADED IN THIS YELLOW. SO BASICALLY HAMILTON COUNTY, INCLUDING WARREN COUNTY AREAS WESTWARD UNTIL 10:00 THIS MORNING FOR THIS ROUND, NUMBER ONE AGAIN, WE’RE GOING TO BE WINDY AND GUSTY TODAY. SUSTAINED WINDS BETWEEN 15 TO 25MPH OR POSSIBLE, GUSTING UP TO 40 PLUS. AND THAT’S THROUGH 8:00 THIS EVENING. THAT INCLUDES THE MAJORITY OF OUR VIEWING AREA. AND THEN AS I MENTIONED, WE TRANSITION TO THIS WIDESPREAD HEAVY RAIN THREAT, ESPECIALLY AS WE HEAD THROUGH THE LATE AFTERNOON HOURS INTO THE EVENING HOURS. AND THAT HAS PRODUCED THAT FLOOD WATCH THAT THE NWS HAS UPLIFTED FROM 8:00 THIS MORNING TO 8:00 THIS EVENING. SO WE HAVE MULTIPLE ISSUES THAT WE ARE GOING TO BE FOCUSING ON THROUGHOUT THE DAY TODAY. RIGHT NOW WE’RE VERY MILD. WE’RE DRY HERE IN DOWNTOWN. IT’S 68 DEGREES. WINDS ARE SUSTAINED AROUND 20MPH. SO IT IS GOING TO BE A WINDY DAY. WATCH ON FUTURECAST AS I PINPOINT THIS FOR YOU. HOUR BY HOUR. THIS IS 7:00 WHERE WE’RE STARTING TO SEE THE MEAT OF THAT LINE OF STORMS. MOVE IN TO ALMOST THE WESTERN EDGE OF THE 275 LOOP. THAT’S GOING TO CONTINUE TO MOVE EASTWARD, AND AS IT DOES SO, IT WILL WEAKEN. BUT THAT DOESN’T MEAN WE’RE NOT GOING TO SEE ANY WARNINGS. RANDI JUST SHOWED YOU THE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNINGS AND A COUPLE OF TORNADO WARNINGS THAT ARE WEST OF 65 RIGHT NOW. THOSE ARE GOING TO BE HEADED OUR WAY. HOWEVER, THE STRENGTH MAY WEAKEN AS AS IT DOES SO OVER THE NEXT HOUR OR SO. AND THAT IS WHAT WE’RE HOPING FOR. BUT WE STILL HAVE SOME INSTABILITY HERE, AND WE’LL CONTINUE TO TRACK THAT THROUGHOUT THE MORNING. BY 10:00, WE’RE STARTING TO SEE MOST OF THAT RAIN MOVE EASTWARD. WE GET A BREAK FROM THE STORMS AND THE HEAVY WEATHER FOR A BRIEF PERIOD OF TIME. SO LATE MORNING INTO MAYBE LUNCHTIME, WE GET A BREAK FROM THE RAIN FOR THE MAJORITY OF US, BUT BY LUNCHTIME WE ARE SEEING THAT SCATTERED ACTIVITY MOVE BACK IN FROM THE SOUTH AND SOUTHWEST. SO WE’RE GOING TO BE TRACKING SOME RAIN THROUGHOUT THE AFTERNOON AND SOME THUNDERSTORMS AS WELL. AND THEN HEAVY RAIN CONTINUING TO POUR IN FROM THE SOUTH AS WE HEAD THROUGHOUT THE EVENING. SO WE’LL CONTINUE TO WATCH HEAVY RAIN. AND THEN BY TOMORROW MORNING WE’RE STARTING TO SEE THAT RAIN TAPER DOWN. NOT GOING TO SHUT OFF COMPLETELY. WE’RE TALKING SCATTERED SHOWER ACTIVITY THROUGH THE FIRST PART OF SUNDAY, AND THEN A COUPLE OF SHOWERS. STILL KIND OF WITH US THROUGHOUT THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS. SO WE ARE GOING TO STILL SEE SOME WET WEATHER THROUGH THE DAY TOMORROW. AND WE’LL ALSO SEE FALLING TEMPERATURES. SO YOUR SEVEN DAY FORECAST LOOKS LIKE THIS. TODAY WE’LL BE CLOSE TO 70 EARLY THIS AFTERNOON. WATCH FOR THOSE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNINGS AND PERHAPS THE LOW END THREAT FOR TORNADO TOMORROW. WE’RE LOOKING AT SCATTERED SHOWER ACTIVITY, ESPECIALLY THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS. THEN WE DRY OUT SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY, FALLING TO ABOUT 55 FOR A HIGH BUT STILL ABOVE AVERAGE THROUGH MOST OF OUR WORKWEEK. TUESDAY WE’RE DRY. WEDNESDAY WE’RE TRACKING LATE DAY SHOWERS THAT MAY TRANSITION INTO A FEW FLAKES BY THURSDAY, WITH SOME COLDER AIR MOVING IN, BUT WITH HIGHS IN THE 40S, WE DON’T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT ROAD CONDITIONS, TIFFANY. ERICA. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.
