A Tornado WATCH or a Severe Thunderstorm WATCH may be issued for most of northern Kentucky and southwestern Ohio shortly.<\/p>\n

Carroll County and all of southeastern Indiana are under a Tornado Watch through 9pm:<\/p>\n

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

Additional watches and warnings may be posted for the Tri-State later this afternoon and this evening.\u00a0Be alert!<\/p>\n

The radar composite as of 3pm shows a bowing line of storms to our west. These storms are moving east at roughly 45mph and are quite capable of producing damaging straight-line wind in excess of 60mph:<\/p>\n

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

Additional round of rain and storms are likely tonight, but the round approaching from the west is likely to be the main event. It will zap a lot of the instability available for storms this evening.<\/p>\n

The visible satellite snapshot as of 2:15pm shows breaks in the cloud both ahead of the line of storms around Louisville and also behind it:<\/p>\n

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

Breaks in the clouds will support\u00a0to an increase in instability and stronger storms. Temperatures have been slow to rise today due to a cloudy sky, but strong southerly flow has pushed temperatures into the mid 60s for most:<\/p>\n

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

There is still plenty of time for the record high today in Cincinnati of 66\u00b0 set in 1933 to be broken or tied.<\/p>\n

The main severe weather threat through tonight continues to be damaging straight-line wind, but tornadoes are also a secondary threat:<\/p>\n

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

Most of the Tri-State is still in an ENHANCED risk for severe storms through tonight, with the highest threat being southwest of Cincinnati:<\/p>\n
