Some better news guys with regards to Saturday. The best chance for showers will be in the morning hours. The afternoon should see skies clearing out, but breezy. With regards to coverage and rainfall amounts, it still looks to be on the light side. In fact the 12Z GFS is pretty much dry for NKY and...

The boys have a complete listing now of all of the storm related damage and reports from the last severe wx outbreak. It looks like 12 tornadoes occurred. Five EF0's, five EF1's and two EF-2's! That is very significant for our region IMO. https://www.weather.gov/iln/20240507 Hi Les, My folks and I ...

I am surprised no one has posted about this yet so I will. :lol: Check this out from spaceweather.com: ARE WE ABOUT TO EXPERIENCE A NEW CARRINGTON EVENT? No. AR3664 is indeed a 'Carrington-class' sunspot, but the CMEs it hurled toward Earth over the past few days are not as potent as the monster CME...

I agree Tim! Even during the drought of 2007 when we had the hottest August on record for Cincinnati as an example, it was still short term drought as we had a very active late fall and winter season with numerous cutters! So the rain came back in other words as it always does. I could name plenty o...

Here is CB's blog post from overnight. It is more for Kentucky mind you, but you'll get the basic idea. Three items of interest in the blog post. The first, is a map of 48 hour rainfall amounts from all of the KY Mesonet sites. The second, is a rainfall accumulation map over the last 30 days. The la...

In addition to the above... the cooler temps will also help to keep the moisture in the ground longer. BTW, my comments for let's keep the rain going is purely an IMBY perspective. I totally understand that the farmers absolutely need a dry spell to get their crops in. The end result of this pattern...

Clouds are finally breaking up a bit here in Mason. The sun is still blocked, but you can see quite a bit of blue sky mixed in. Visible shows that we should see increasing amounts of sunshine as the day wears on. Much drier air in place too with dews in the upper 40s at the moment and a nice norther...

Nice post Tim! May is certainly looking to remain active and with shots of cool air coming in from time to time. No big heat in other words and I am certainly expecting no 90s for this month. My original call for the summer was to see a hot and drier then normal for rain, but not to the extent that ...

I picked up a nice downpour too before I went to bed last night. Totals from that action:

CVG - 0.27"
Me - 0.12"
Boone Co Mesonet - 0.01"

Good morning all and awesome news for our Out East and I-70 Crew posters! Glad to see everyone pretty much has cashed in now. :) A break for today with temps 65 to 70 then we get a front for tomorrow but this is not a big deal for rainfall amounts or duration. Then a wonderful Mother's Day with high...

BBQing some chicken for dinner and it is partly sunny here with a nice breeze. It feels pretty nice outside!

Some decent scattered storms for the I-70 Crew... Dayton Metro may see some beneficial rains here shortly. Just had a few showers on the way home from work, nothing major. A few sprinkles here at home, now the sun is back out. 72 so far for my high temp today.

ILN is starting to come out with EF ratings now on a lot of the tornadoes that have occurred in our area. You can click on this link below to view the PNS's (Public Information Statements). https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=NWS&issuedby=ILN&product=PNS&format=CI&version=1...

12Z GFS keeps the hits on coming in the extended range so honestly, no major wholescale changes to what has already been discussed. In the short term, the broad low of 1004 Mb is currently tracking right thru the region. I thought it would dive a little further SE down towards LOU but whatever. :lol...

Les your forecast looks good and I wonder towards I-70 that we don't see a few stronger storms. Not sure about severe but we getting into mid-May and the sun can no doubt help ignite storms. I agree the best shot of severe weather that is more widespread is well south of us. Sinus problems today bu...

I checked the radar loop from overnight and there was a nice line of storms that trained N of Dayton along / N of I-70 for a couple of hours in the 12-2am window. Hopefully folks like Bo were able to cash in on that activity. That same boundary is still there running from N ILL and the Chicago area...

As of 5/7, The La Nina continues to develop as well as the -PDO.

Good Morning Les and nice to get a break from the rain. Hopefully like you mentioned the folks that needed some rain got it overnight. I had zero in the rain guage so that is a nice break. Today's action looks more isolated but it usually ends up hitting the golf course around 2-3pm during my golf ...

0.03" at CVG overnight. We shall see what else can pop up ahead of the cold front later. We're socked in with clouds right now but the visible shows a couple of breaks to the West so we'll see what happens there. I don't think that things will get out of hand or anything like that today but a f...

NWS ILN has confirmed an 8th tornado now in Butler Co. There could be more in the days to come. The boys have been hard at work with more work still ahead. Public Information Statement National Weather Service Wilmington OH 804 PM EDT Wed May 8 2024 ...TORNADO CONFIRMED IN BUTLER COUNTY OHIO... The ...

Awesome Ang! :thumbsup: I don't know if we have any posters in the Reily Township area of Butler Co, but I believe a possible tornado went thru there and ILN will be doing a storm damage survey in that area today. Heading home from Cincy (Clifton) on Wed afternoon after a routine appt I had at UC H...

Good morning all! Some light rain out there this morning in some areas but the severe threat stayed well to the south as expected AND the flood watch got cancelled early too. All wonderful news (minus those locations who still need some rain of course - I totally understand that). Temps will be a go...
