Weather warning day: Danger of severe weather brings hail, strong winds and tornadoes

Updated: 8:39 a.m. EDT, May 26, 2024

VARIOUS ROUNDS OF SEVERE TO SEVERE WEATHER. SO WE’VE ISSUED A WEATHER WARNING FOR TONIGHT. WE’RE EXPECTING A SEVERE TO SEVERE WEATHER BREAK, POSSIBLY A ROUND IN THE MIDDLE OF WEDNESDAY. THEN THERE’S ANOTHER THREAT OF SEVERE WEATHER AS IT FITS UP TO TONIGHT. BUT ALL HAZARDS ARE POSSIBLE. I THINK THE BIGGER CONCERN WITH THIS FIRST ROUND WILL PROBABLY BE STORM DAMAGE, MAYBE HAIL AS WELL. AND THEN WE’RE EXPECTING A BETTER CHANCE FOR ALL HAZARDS OF SEVERE WEATHER AS IT FITS UP TO TONIGHT. OUR RADAR IS NOW SHOWING DRY SKIES HERE IN GREATER CINCINNATI. BUT WE HAVE BEEN WATCHING THIS STORM SYSTEM TO THE WEST. THAT’S THE ENERGY THAT’S COMING TOWARDS US, AND IT’S BEEN PRODUCING SEVERE WEATHER ALL NIGHT. WE HAVE CONFIRMED TORNADOES. ACTUALLY TORNADOES THAT HAVE CAUSED DAMAGE IN MANY PLACES ACROSS THE COUNTRY. BUT THIS ONE IS COMING TOWARDS US, AND WE’LL SEE A ROUND AS THEY GET TOWARDS THE MIDDLE AFTERNOON HOUR. AGAIN A LITTLE BREAK, AND THEN ANOTHER ROUND OF STORMS AS THEY GET TOWARDS TONIGHT. THE STORM FORECAST CENTER HAS EXPANDED THE ENHANCED SEVERE WEATHER RISK TO THE ENTIRE WLWT WATCHING AREA. SO THAT’S LEVEL THREE ON A SCALE OF FIVE. AGAIN, ALL SEVERE WEATHER HAZARDS ARE POSSIBLE TODAY. I THINK STRONG, DAMAGING WINDS WILL BE THE BIGGEST FEAR WITH MOST DEVELOPMENTS TODAY. SECONDARY HAZARDS FROM TORNADOES AND HAIL. AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE THE FEAR OF FLOODING. I MEAN, SOME OF THESE STORMS BRING SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS OF RAIN. UH, THAT COULD CAUSE PROBLEMS ON THE ROADS WITH FLOODING. TODAY, BUT, DAYTIME HIGHS WILL RISE TO 83 TEMPERATURES BETWEEN THE STORMS. TODAY IT WILL BE WARM AND HUMID IN THE MORNING HOURS. YOU’LL NOTE SOME CLOUDS AND A LITTLE FOG. HERE’S THE FIRST BATCH THAT’S GOING IN SOMETIME AROUND 1:00 AM. I THINK IT’S STILL IN THE WEST AROUND 12 AM, BUT IF YOU’RE GOING TO THE INDY 500 TODAY. UH, YES. I THINK BETWEEN 12 PM AND 1 AM YOU COULD PROBABLY SEE THE STORMS THERE. SO NOT A GOOD TIME, BUT THAT’S GOING TO GET INTO THE WLWT VIEWING AREA AROUND 1:2 AM TODAY. I WOULD SAY 1:00 AM FOR LOCATIONS SOUTHWEST OF 275 MODELS, THAT LINE HAS ACTUALLY HOLDED TOGETHER WELL, AND IN SOME PLACES IT LOOKS PRETTY SIGNIFICANT. SO I THINK THERE’S A GOOD CHANCE FOR SEVERE, MAYBE EVEN SOME DIFFERENT SEVERE WEATHER. I WOULD SAY DAMAGING WINDS WILL BE THE MAIN PROBLEM. MAYBE A LITTLE HAIL. BUT LET’S SAY THAT LINE IS SUPER ORGANIZED AND RUNNING EAST. I CAN’T TOTALLY RULE OUT THE CHANCE OF A FAST-MOUNTING TORNADO FROM THIS FIRST CHALLENGE, SO WE’LL HAVE TO WATCH IT VERY CLOSELY. UH, FUTURECAST HERE’S SOME RAIN REMAINING AROUND 5:00 EVENING. IT’S EVEN REMAINING LATER. LET’S SAY THAT’S THE BREAK FOR TONIGHT. IF THAT’S THE CASE, THAT COULD REDUCE OUR CHANCES FOR SEVERE WEATHER TOWARDS THE EVENING. SUNSET, MAYBE NOT AS MUCH IF IT DRYS, IF WE GET A LITTLE SUNSHINE, I THINK THE CHANCES FOR SEVERE WEATHER WILL CONTINUE LATER TONIGHT, AT LEAST IN THE FORM IT ALWAYS LOOKS LIKE. SO 8:00, MAYBE SOME STORMS DEVELOP, BUT I WOULD SAY MORE LIKE 9:10. WE’RE FORECASTING A FAIR AMOUNT OF SEVERE WEATHER HERE. AGAIN. THESE POTENTIALLY SEVERE WEATHER ARE POSSIBLE IN ALL TYPES. BUT AFTER 12 PM THERE’S A RISK OF IT TAKING OFF QUICKLY BECAUSE WE’VE USED UP ALL THE ENERGY OF THE ATMOSPHERE. SUNSET HAS GONE INTO THE NIGHT HOURS, AND THEN OUR ATTENTION WILL BE TURNED TO RAIN TONIGHT. EVEN TO THUNDER. UH, AGAIN, TIMES OF HEAVY RAIN, I THINK. ESPECIALLY BEFORE MIDNIGHT. SO THAT MEANS WE HAVE TO CONSIDER FLOODING TONIGHT. AND THEN TOMORROW. WE’RE EXPECTING 76 AS A HIGH FOR YOUR MEMORIAL DAY, MAYBE A FEW AM BLOWS, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE IT’S AT LEAST A FEW THAT WILL LAST INTO THE AFTERNOON. FUTURECAST TOMORROW SHOWS ANOTHER ONE OR TWO SCATTERED RAIN BLOWS IN THE AM. MORE RAIN BLOWS, MAYBE A ROLL OF THUNDER IN THE AFTERNOON. TOMORROW WILL BE WINDY. MUCH COOLER. SOME OF THE COOLER AIR COMES IN BEHIND THE COLD FRONT. IT WON’T BE COLD BY ANY WAY, BUT IT’S BEEN OVER 25 GRAMS FOR A WHILE, SO I THINK 21 GRAMS WILL PROBABLY FEEL LIKE A BIG CHANGE TO YOU. RAINFALL IS FORECAST HERE FOR THE NEXT 24 HOURS. WOULDN’T BE IN THE LEAST SURPRISED IF SEVERAL TOWNS REPORT OVER TWO INCHES OF RAIN WITH A TON OF HUMIDITY. THOSE WILL MOVE REPEATEDLY OVER SOME TOWNS. THERE YOU NEED TO WATCH FOR FLOODING OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS. SEVEN DAY FORECAST BEYOND MONDAY. MONDAY LOOKS PRETTY CALM TOMORROW. BUT IN THE AFTERNOON 21C AND THEN WE’LL HAVE A BETTER CHANCE OF AT LEAST A FEW SPOTS OF RAIN, MAYBE A ROLL OF THUNDER IN THE SECOND HALF OF THE DAY. MID TO LOW 21C FOR TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY. LOOK AT THE LOW TEMPERATURES AT NIGHT ALSO. SOME BELOW 10C. THAT’S AN INDICATION OF WHERE OUR HUMIDITY IS GOING. So, um, dewpoints below 10 degrees later this week. That means nice dry air moving in. It’s going to feel refreshing. It’s going to feel great. Enjoy the sunshine. The temperatures are back.
