SUNDAY IS A 9 FIRST WARNING WEATHER ALERT DAY due to the threat at strong and severe weather. We have more on the timing and impacts later in this article.
Saturday was a warm and muggy day across the Tri-State and that will continue into the overnight tonight. Tonight will stay warm and dry with our temperatures falling into the low 60s. There might be some patchy fog as well, especially to the east of the I-71/75 corridor.
Sunday brings us our severe weather threat and it looks like it could come in two waves. The Storm Prediction Center has highlighted a majority of the Tri-State within an "Enhanced Risk" which is threat level 3 out of 5. All forms of severe weather will be possible, but wind and hail are the primary concern.
The morning should be dry and muggy with temperatures warming quickly. By midday we will have to watch the potential for our first round of storms. The latest mode trends have these moving into the metro between 1 to 3 pm for our first wave. This threat looks to be from 12 p.m. until 5 p.m.
After that passes we will watch for the 10/11 pm time frame for the potential at another wave of storms to roll in. This wave will also have the possibility for all forms of severe weather. Highs on Sunday rise to 82. Being that this is a holiday weekend, make sure you have alternative plans ready, especially for anything in the bulk of the afternoon as things could get dicey quickly. Also, make sure to go over your severe weather action plan with anyone who is visiting or in town. Planning ahead can help save catastrophe when the time comes.
Those storms will likely pick up after midnight but the severe weather threat should diminish early Monday morning.
Right now, Memorial Day looks to start wet with some scattered showers and storms early, but tapering off as we get past 9 to 10 a.m. From there we will clearing and temperatures into the upper 70s. Should be a decent afternoon for the Taste of Cincinnati.
