The threat for severe storms is still very much in play Wednesday night for the Tri-State; however, that threat has dropped<\/em> some<\/em> in the last 24 hours.<\/p>\n

The Storm Prediction Center has placed parts of southeastern Indiana and a small part of northern Kentucky in a marginal risk for severe storms Wednesday night:<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

As of Monday night, nearly the entire Tri-State was in a slight to marginal risk for severe storms. The map above shows the risk for damaging storms has dropped, but strong storms and heavy rain still remain a possibility.<\/p>\n

The threat for severe storms in the Tri-State will center between 10pm Wednesday and 3am Thursday. Damaging straight-line wind is the main threat, but it is not the only threat:<\/p>\n

One computer forecast model shows a line or lines of rain and storms developing in the Mississippi Valley Wednesday night. Some discrete, rotating cells are possible over Missouri and Illinois tomorrow, as this model suggests:<\/p>\n

This same computer model shows the line of rain and storms to our west early Wednesday evening weakening by the time they get close to Cincinnati:<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

While I expect the line of rain and storms to be better organized and less broken than this model suggests, there is a clear indication from the model that storms will weaken traveling east through the Ohio Valley Wednesday night.<\/p>\n

One thing that has not<\/strong> changed is my thinking on wind following Wednesday night’s storms. The sustained wind Thursday and Friday in Cincinnati will be between 15 and 30mph with gusts up to 45mph possible:<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Winds will relax by this weekend. Please stay weather aware Wednesday night as storms move through the Tri-State. Even after storms pass, the wind will remain strong Thursday and Friday with a strong area of low pressure nearby.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
