ON. BUT I THINK THEY HAVE TO WAIT SOME OF THIS OUT. YEAH. SO WE’RE UNDER A TORNADO WATCH RIGHT NOW FOR MANY PARTS OF GREATER CINCINNATI UNTIL 4:00 IN THE MORNING. LET’S GET RIGHT BACK TO CHIEF METEOROLOGIST KEVIN ROBINSON WITH MORE ON WHAT WE CAN EXPECT WHILE YOU’RE SLEEPING TONIGHT. HI, KEVIN. HEY. WELL, THE THREAT FOR SEVERE WEATHER IS WHAT WE’RE CONCERNED ABOUT HERE, AND THAT’S WHAT WE’RE WATCHING RIGHT NOW. WE’VE GOT BIG STORMS MOVING RIGHT ACROSS THE IMMEDIATE CINCINNATI METRO. WE’VE GOT THE TORNADO WATCH. THAT’S WHAT’S SHADED IN RED. THAT’S IN EFFECT UNTIL 4 A.M. SO IF YOU’RE SOUTHEAST OF INTERSTATE 71, OR LET ME PUT IT TO YOU THIS WAY, IF YOU’VE YET TO SEE STORMS, THIS EVENING, IF YOU’RE AHEAD OF THIS COMPLEX OF STORMS, BASICALLY PEEBLES, WEST UNION, MAYSVILLE, GEORGETOWN, MOUNT ORB, FALMOUTH THROUGH NORTHERN KENTUCKY, YOU’RE UNDER THIS TORNADO. WATCH UNTIL 4 A.M. ONCE THESE STORMS PASS, THE THREAT FOR SEVERE WEATHER ENDS. SO IF YOU’RE NORTHWEST OF THIS LINE BACK THROUGH SOUTHEAST INDIANA WHILE IT IS STILL STORMING AND IT’S RAINING AND IT’S NASTY, THE SEVERE THREAT STARTING TO WIND DOWN SAME STORY. BUTLER WARREN COUNTIES. WHAT’S HAPPENING RIGHT NOW? SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNING IN EFFECT FOR CLERMONT AND TO BROWN COUNTIES. THIS IS THE STORM THAT MOVED OVER DOWNTOWN CINCINNATI PROBABLY HAS JUST MARGINAL SEVERE WIND GUSTS OR RIGHT RIGHT AT THE SEVERE THRESHOLD 50 TO 55MPH. AND MAYBE A LITTLE BIT OF HAIL IN THERE AS WELL. FOR EXAMPLE, BETWEEN STONELICK AND THE GOSHEN COMMUNITY. BUT THIS IS MOVING EAST TOWARDS NEWTONVILLE, OVER IN THE DIRECTION OF THE FAYETTEVILLE AREA. SO WATCH OUT FOR WINDS AND THE POTENTIAL OF A LITTLE BIT OF HAIL COMING OUT OF THIS. YOU CAN SEE THERE’S HEAVY RAIN UP TOWARDS WILMINGTON. BACK IN THE DIRECTION OF LEBANON, AND THEN BACK THROUGH MUCH OF BUTLER COUNTY. BUT AGAIN, YOU GUYS ARE NOW IN THE CLEAR OF SEVERE WEATHER. IT IS FROM THE METRO AREA SOUTH THROUGH NORTHERN KENTUCKY, WHERE WE ARE MOST CONCERNED FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS, BIG STORMS, ADDITIONAL SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNINGS THROUGH PARTS OF OWEN GRANT COUNTIES. RIGHT NOW WITH THESE STORMS PRODUCING SOME WIND AND HAIL AS WELL. FORTUNATELY, IN REGARDS TO OUR TORNADO CONCERN, THAT THREAT SEEMS TO BE MUCH LOWER THAN IT WAS EARLIER THIS EVENING. SO THAT IS SOME GOOD NEWS. IT IS NOT ZERO. HENCE THE REASON WHY WE HAVE THE TORNADO WATCH IN EFFECT. BUT I CERTAINLY DON’T THINK WE ARE FACING THE SCENARIOS AND THE SETUP, THE TYPE OF ENVIRONMENT THAT WAS EXPERIENCED EARLIER THIS EVENING THAT BROUGHT WIDESPREAD. TORNADOES TO PARTS OF CENTRAL OHIO ABOUT AN HOUR NORTH OF US. SO THESE STORMS WILL GO THROUGH THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS. THEY’LL BE VERY NOISY. AS CHRIS MENTIONED, ALMOST CONTINUOUS LIGHTNING AND OCCASIONALLY THE THREAT FOR SOME POCKETS OF. STRONG WINDS AND A LITTLE BIT OF HAIL. AND WE’LL KEEP A WATCHFUL EYE ON ANY SMALL SPIN UPS OUT OF THESE STORMS. BUT THIS IS WHAT YOU SHOULD EXPECT HERE THROUGH THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS. A LOT OF RAIN, A LOT OF THUNDER, A LOT OF LIGHTNING, AND JUST PRETTY MUCH A NASTY OVERNIGHT HERE FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS. SO AGAIN, WIND AND HAIL. THE PRIMARY CONCERNS LOWER END THREAT FOR MAYBE A BRIEF SPIN UP TORNADO. HERE’S FUTURECAST I’LL SHOW YOU HOW THIS STUFF CONTINUES TO PROGRESS ITS WAY THROUGH. I DO THINK BY 2 A.M., THE BULK OF THE SEVERE THREAT IS OVER. THERE STILL MAY BE SOME RAIN. THERE STILL MAY BE SOME THUNDER AND LIGHTNING. THE ONLY FOLKS THAT PROBABLY ARE STILL UNDER THE THREAT FOR SEVERE WEATHER. BY THE TIME WE GET TO 2 OR 3 A.M. WOULD BE IN OUR FAR SOUTHEASTERN MOST COMMUNITIES. BUT I THINK EVEN HERE TO THE OVERALL THREAT FOR SEVERE WEATHER SEEMS TO BE DECREASING FOR US SOME. NOW, WHEN YOU WAKE UP ON FRIDAY MORNING, THE SEVERE THREATS LONG GONE, BUT THERE STILL COULD BE SOME LINGERING SHOWERS THROUGH THE FIRST PART OF YOUR FRIDAY THROUGH AT LEAST LUNCHTIME. SO LOW TEMPERATURES ARE FALLING INTO THE 60S. ONCE YOU START TO GET STORMED ON, AND EVENTUALLY BY MORNING, OUR TEMPERATURES WILL DROP OFF INTO THE 50S. SO YOU CAN SEE HOW IT LOOKS DOWNTOWN NOW. COMPARED TO ABOUT 20 MINUTES AGO. AT THE TOP OF THE NEWSCAST, WE DIDN’T EVEN HAVE THE SIGNAL. IT WAS RAINING SO HARD. BUT HERE’S HOW YOU KNOW THINGS ARE CHANGING AND THE SEVERE THREAT IS OVER. ONCE. THIS HAPPENS. LOOK AT THIS. THE WINDS HAVE SWITCHED AROUND TO THE NORTHWEST SO THAT ESSENTIALLY STOPS OR KILLS THE SEVERE THREAT. ONCE THAT HAPPENS, TEMPERATURES ARE ALSO BEGINNING TO FALL BEHIND THE STORMS TOO. SO IF YOU’RE NORTHWEST OF INTERSTATE 71, THE SEVERE THREAT IS QUICKLY ENDING FOR YOU. UH, OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF MINUTES. SO THE REST OF THE NIGHT, THE THREAT FOR SEVERE STORMS, MAINLY SOUTHEAST OF THE METRO. TOMORROW, SOME MORNING SHOWERS, AND THEN IT’S DRIER AND COOLER FOR, YOU KNOW, THE REST OF THE DAY. TEMPERATURES WILL PROBABLY HOLD PRETTY STEADY IN THE 50S. UNDERNEATH. MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES. AND AGAIN, A LITTLE RAIN. OR AT LEAST SOME LINGERING SHOWERS FOR THE FIRST PART OF THE DAY. 64. THAT’S WHAT’S HAPPENING HERE AT MIDNIGHT. YOU CAN SEE SATURDAY LOOKS LIKE A NICE DAY. SOME DAY WILL LIKELY BRING IN SOME COOLER WEATHER. AND IN FACT, MIKE AND SHEREE. THE REASON WHY WE’RE SEEING SOME OF THIS STORMY WEATHER IS BECAUSE WE’RE TRANSITIONING TO MAYBE A LITTLE MORE WINTER LIKE PATTERN AGAIN NEXT WEEK, AS IT’S LIKELY TO TURN CHILLY, AND WE MAY EVEN HAVE A FEW FLAKES OF SNOW DURING THE WEEK AS WELL. MAYBE MONDAY AND THEN AGAIN LATER IN THE WEEK. ALL RIGHT, KEVIN, THANKS FOR ALL OF THESE UPDATES TONIGHT. IT I
