After weeks of very little rainfall we nearly made up for it in one single day. Friday's rain ranged from 2 to 4 inches for many communities and we are seeing more again this evening. Keep that rain gear ready because we are not close to being done.
Coming into Monday last week we had only seen 0.08" of rain at CVG thru the 1st 22 days of September. That was more than 2 inches below normal. NOW we are currently 2.13 inches above normal with a total of 5+ inches of rain. It has been a wild week.#WCPO #CincyWX #ohwx pic.twitter.com/EBLQnrBzql

Scattered showers will continue overnight tonight, moving from east to west. Clouds will stay packed in as well with temperature holding into the mid 60s. Winds from the east will be around 5 to 10 mph.
While it won't be raining wire to wire on Sunday, we will still be dealing with scattered showers off and on throughout the day. In these showers we could see an additional 0.10" to 0.25" of rain, with some areas close to 0.50" inside some of the heavier showers. The good news is that the center of Helene will not be nearly as strong, which means our winds shouldn't be an issue any longer. Expect winds of 5 to 10 mph through the rest of the weekend. Clouds will stay pretty packed in through the day, meaning we are in for another ideal movie marathon day.
Monday is when the remnants of Helene will finally move out of the Tri-State, but we will still have a chance at some scattered showers and storms in the afternoon as well. We will see partly cloudy skies through the day with some sunshine at times. That will lead to slightly warmer temperatures and a high of 76°.
