While it's mainly a quite overnight around the Tri-State, another wave of rain and storms will hit in the afternoon on Thursday. We could see severe weather, again! The Storm Prediction Center has issued a "SLIGHT RISK" for severe storms and the recent same category has produced damage in spots around here.
A warm front lifts Thursday morning, bringing in our first storm chances of the day. Should we see significant storms in the morning, it will hinder the development in the afternoon. Then in the afternoon, a cold front sweeps into the area and this will trigger strong storms and the possibility of a few severe thunderstorms. While all threats are on the table, the most likely are damaging winds and large hail.
Right now, the timing appears to be as early as around 2 p.m. in parts of SE Indiana and around 3 p.m. for Greater Cincinnati. The storms will continue southeast across the Tri-State before exiting around 5-6 p.m. More scattered storms are possible through about 8 p.m.
And then Friday comes and the forecast feels much different! Behind the cold front, drier air will settle into the Tri-State for a few days. This gives us a partly cloudy and dry Friday. The weekend looks great for this time of year. In fact, manageable humidity and afternoon highs in the low to mid 80s will make for maybe the best summer weekend in some time.
