Flood alerts: More rounds of rain, storms with another 4-7+ inches likely by Sunday
THAT’S WHEN YOU’RE EXPECTING SOME OF THE HEAVIER RAIN TO COME THROUGH. YEAH, PROBABLY SOME THUNDER AS WELL. SO WATCHING FOR SOME SOAKING RAINS TONIGHT, I THINK WE’RE GOING TO SEE SOME LEADING UP TO THAT TIME FRAME AS WELL. WE’RE SEEING SOME PRETTY DECENT RAINFALL PUSHING THROUGH THE AREA RIGHT NOW. ALTHOUGH THE HEAVIEST ACROSS SOUTHEAST INDIANA SOUTH OF 74 AND WEST OF SUNMAN. SO GENERALLY DRY TO THE EAST OF THE 71 CORRIDOR RIGHT NOW. AND MOST OF HAMILTON COUNTY SEEING SOME LIGHT RAIN AS YOU HEAD UP NORTH, YOU’RE GOING TO FIND A LITTLE BIT MORE THROUGH BUTLER COUNTY, MOST OF WARREN COUNTY THROUGH MASON, MAINEVILLE AND LEBANON. SEEING THAT RAIN RIGHT NOW, IT’S GOING TO BE LIFTING UP ALONG 71 HERE VERY SHORTLY. BLOOMING GROVE, BROOKVILLE, IN SOME HEAVY RAINFALL. OLDENBURG IN SOME SOAKING SHOWERS. WEST COLLEGE CORNER IN SOME DECENT RAIN. AND THEN WE’RE LOOKING AT SOME VERY HEAVY BANDS OF RAIN ACROSS NORTHERN RIPLEY COUNTY HERE. AND THAT’S GOING TO BE LIFTING UP THROUGH SUNMAN. SO SOME PONDING ON THE ROADS THERE, LETTING UP A BIT SOUTH OF THE 7175 SPLIT, ESPECIALLY ACROSS OWEN COUNTY AND EVEN INTO PENDLETON COUNTY. BUT WE’RE STILL LOOKING AT SOME FAIRLY DECENT SOAKING RAIN THROUGH BRACKEN. MASON, ROBERTSON COUNTIES AND ACROSS MUCH OF ADAMS COUNTY AS WELL. CLERMONT COUNTY AND BROWN COUNTY MOSTLY DRY AT THIS POINT. SO IT’S VERY SLOW MOVING FRONT HERE. IT’S BEEN BOBBLING BACK AND FORTH OVER THE LAST FEW DAYS, WORKING AS A CHANNEL FOR ALL OF THIS MOISTURE COMING UP INTO THE AREA. SO WE’RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO SEE THAT TODAY. CHANCE FOR SOME THUNDERSTORMS LATER THIS AFTERNOON. STORM PREDICTION CENTER HAS US UNDER A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE WEATHER. THAT’S PRIMARILY GOING TO BE FOR AREAS EAST OF 71. I THINK THE OPPORTUNITIES FOR STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS STAY PRETTY LOW. IF WE WERE TO SEE A LONE SEVERE STORM, MAYBE A STRONG STORM OR TWO, IT WOULD BE ACROSS SOUTHEAST KENTUCKY. COMMUNITIES HERE. SO BRACKEN, MASON, ROBERTSON COUNTY, MAYBE ALONG THE OHIO AND SOUTHERN BROWN AND EVEN INTO ADAMS COUNTY. SO WATCH FOR SOME GUSTY WINDS. I THINK THE BIGGER CONCERN TODAY IS REALLY GOING TO BE FOR SOME EXCESSIVE RAIN. YOU CAN SEE THAT MODERATE RISK OF FLOODING HERE, EXCESSIVE RAINFALL AS YOU HEAD SOUTH OF THE OHIO RIVER AND THEN UP NORTH OF CINCINNATI. MOST OF 275. WE’RE UNDER THAT SLIGHT RISK FOR EXCESSIVE RAINFALL TODAY. SO HEAVIEST DAY OF RAIN SO FAR. I THINK WE’RE GOING TO HAVE FAR LESS BREAKS IN THE RAIN THAN WHAT WE WERE SEEING OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS. 67 FOR THE HIGH TODAY, A FEW STORMS EAST TONIGHT. MORE RAIN, SOME HEAVY. WE’RE LOOKING AT A LOW OF 42. AND THEN TOMORROW ABOUT 49. MUCH COOLER. AND IF THE RAIN LINGERS LONG ENOUGH TOMORROW NIGHT, I THINK THE COLD AIR COULD MIX IN WITH THAT AND MAYBE EVEN BRING US A FEW SNOWFLAKES. IT’S CRAZY. FLOOD ALERTS HERE AS WE GO THROUGH THIS WEEKEND. WE’VE GOT FLOOD WATCHES IN GREEN AND THEN FLOOD WARNINGS IN THE LIME GREEN COLOR HERE. FLOOD WARNINGS OUT FOR A LONGER PERIOD OF TIME, SOME THROUGH TODAY INTO TOMORROW. THESE ONES ALONG THE OHIO UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE, JUST DUE TO THE LONG DURATION FLOODING EVENT THAT WE’RE GOING TO SEE HERE. SO YOU CAN SEE SOME SCATTERED RAIN THROUGH THE MIDDAY HOURS. AND THEN IT PICKS UP AGAIN AFTER 4 OR 5:00. I WOULD SAY SOMETIME BETWEEN 6 AND 8. WE’RE LOOKING AT SOME PRETTY HEAVY SHOWERS, EVEN A FEW THUNDERSTORMS. YOU CAN SEE THERE ACROSS NORTHERN KENTUCKY MOVES ON THROUGH, AND THEN WE’RE LEFT WITH SOME STEADY LIGHT TO MODERATE RAIN AFTER MIDNIGHT AND INTO THE EARLY MORNING HOURS TOMORROW. SO SUNDAY IS GOING TO FEATURE SOME WAVES OF RAIN. AND HERE’S A LITTLE BIT OF THAT COLD AIR. TRYING TO WORK IN. DON’T THINK WE’RE SEEING ANYTHING IN THE WAY OF SNOW ACCUMULATION BY ANY MEANS, BUT MAYBE A SNOWFLAKE OR TWO NORTH OF 275 THROUGH THE LAST PART OF TOMORROW. OHIO RIVER RAPIDLY CLIMBING HERE WE ARE IN ACTION STAGE ALMOST TO MINOR FLOOD STAGE RIGHT NOW. WE WILL BE THERE THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON AND INTO THE EVENING, AND THEN EVENTUALLY REACHING THAT MODERATE CREST AT 60FT. THAT’S GOING TO BE 8:00 IN THE MORNING ON MONDAY. I WAS SAYING EARLIER, I HAVE BEEN IN THIS INDUSTRY FOR A WHILE, AND I HAVE WORKED IN A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT RIVER TOWNS. I HAVE NEVER SEEN WATER COME UP THIS QUICKLY ON LOCAL RIVERS, SO IT’S A TESTAMENT TO HOW MUCH RAIN IS COMING DOWN HERE. AND WE’RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO SEE THOSE SOAKING RAINS THROUGH TOMORROW. SO THAT’S GOING TO CONTRIBUTE TO THAT RAPID RISE IN THE OHIO THROUGH YOUR MONDAY 40S AND 50S HERE MONDAY, TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY. I DON’T THINK IT’S GOING TO BE THE BEST WEATHER FOR GETTING OUTSIDE. WE’VE GOT SOME MUD HERE FROM ALL THE RAIN THAT WE HAD MORE RAIN ON THURSDAY. IT LOOKS LIKE MAYBE

A super soaker of a weekend is on the way. Rounds of rain will continue, with some brief breaks.A Flood Watch is in effect through 8 a.m. Sunday. Enjoy this lull in most of our rain that lasts into lunchtime Friday. Heavy rain continues Saturday morning and throughout the day. All told, the 5 day rainfall totals will be around 4-7″ by the end of the weekend.If your basement typically floods, this will be another week of checking on the sump pump. The Little Miami reaches the minor flood stage Sunday. The Great Miami River rises to moderate flood stage Sunday. The Ohio River is rapidly rising and hits 60′ by Monday morning. This is the highest we have seen the Ohio since 2018. If you live in a flood-prone area, you’ll likely see high water issues at times, and we could see more than the typical roads closed for standing water.
