While it is has been a cloudy and gloomy day for all of the Tri-State, some have been dealing with some very heavy rainfall all afternoon.

Flash Flooding has been reported in parts of Southeast Indiana this afternoon as some areas have received between 5 to 8 inches of rain this evening.

Radar estimates are up to 8.0" of rain for parts of SE Indiana in the last 12 hours. This is mainly east of Pleasant, IN along IN-250. Reports that water are over the roads. #WCPO @WCPO #CincyWX #OHwx #INwx #NKYwx pic.twitter.com/qW0m2hGCDR

These storms are moving slowly to the east and will impact the Cincy Metro at times this evening and overnight, likely leading to some more flooding and road closures. Flash Flooding is extremely dangerous, so make sure to take these warnings seriously.

We will see more showers and storms through the overnight tonight as temperatures dip into the upper 60s and low 70s. Clouds will be persistent and that will carry over into Sunday as well.

Sunday morning starts off pretty similar to Saturday morning. We'll see a few showers here and there but most of the rain and thunderstorms increase by midday and into the afternoon. Highs will be in the upper 70s for most due to the cloud cover.

There is a bit of good news. The forecast for Sunday night fireworks is actually looking promising... Models are showing some clearing of the rain beginning around 7 p.m. which would be just in time for the 9 p.m. spectacle. However, there is still a chance an isolated storm develops in the area, so stay alert.

Labor Day will be another wet day with showers and storms off and on all day long. Honestly, Labor Day looks more like a wash out than Sunday. Rainfall will be off and on and will just add more moisture to those already saturated soils.
