More rain overnight, with flooding impacts overnight

Another wave of showers and storms will move in from the southwest over the next few hours a firehose of moisture. This will keep steady, heavy rain for parts of the Tri-State through the overnight into early parts of Sunday. Some areas could see an additional 1 to 3 inches of rain by the end of the day on Sunday.

All of our rivers and waterways are expected to hit levels that are rarely seen. The Ohio River is forecasted to crest at 60ft Sunday night into early Monday, which is in moderate flood stage. We hit this back in 2018, but you have to go back to 1997 for the previous one before that. The Great Miami is also forecasted to reach moderate flood stage on Sunday.

However, as you are probably aware, the Ohio River will not have a rapid increase or decline in water levels. This will be a slow and steady climb and a slow and steady decline, leading to major flooding issues in the surrounding areas of Northern Kentucky and Ohio.

Temperatures overnight will start to plummet as temperatures fall into the low 40s. Periodic heavy rain is likely, with a few storms as well. Sunday starts with more scattered showers as well, which will start to taper as the day goes off. However, we will still hold onto the chance for showers all the way through the evening, and some areas may get cold enough that a snowflake or two mixes in. The high on Sunday will only top out at 46°. Winds from the northeast at 15 mph will keep the feels-like temperatures into the mid to upper 30s.

Finally, some good news! Next week looks to finally bring us some dry weather as Monday and Tuesday look fairly dry. There will still be a small chance at a shower on Monday, with mostly cloudy skies, but we will stay partly to mostly cloudy with highs in the 50s. However, it does get colder for Tuesday and Wednesday. Tuesday will only see a high of 45°, with mostly sunny skies.

The next chance for rain will build into the middle of the week, with rain late Wednesday and into Thursday.
