The same boundary that brought us storms late Saturday will be back early in the morning for Easter Sunday, but this time it will be moving in from the south and will likely set up shop right over the Tri-State.
Easter morning will start with some spotty showers between 4 a.m. and 10 a.m., but stronger showers and storms fire up again along the stationary front later in the afternoon and evening. These could be strong, possibly severe. The Storm Prediction Center has placed us in a "Marginal Risk" for severe weather in Cincinnati, but parts of the Tri-State are in a "Slight Risk" which is level 2 of 5. The main threats are hail, but strong winds will be possible too. Highs for Easter stay warmer than normal with a high near 67°.
9 FIRST WARNING: The Tri-State is in a severe weather threat for both Sunday & Monday. The bigger threat looks to be Monday PM.

Scattered showers may linger overnight into Monday morning, but our biggest storm threat comes in for Monday afternoon and evening. The Storm Prediction Center has already placed us in a "Slight Risk" for severe weather in Cincinnati and much of the Tri-State. Winds, hail, and tornadoes all look to be possible. Make sure to check back for the latest information.
Tuesday will be another stormy day, but it will also be very windy. Gusts could reach 40 to 45 mph. Rainfall amounts of 1.50" to 3.00" will be possible for much of the Tri-State between now and Tuesday night.
From there we see a huge drop in temperatures for the middle of the week. Wednesday's high will be in the 40s and we could even see a few isolated areas of showers, maybe mixing in with some sleet. Still early, but something there to watch as well. Thursday looks even colder with a high of 45°.
