Thousands without power as storms move through Cincinnati area

TO DISCUSS THIS A BIT FURTHER. HOW LONG WILL THESE LINGER? IT LOOKS LIKE THEY ARE IN A LINE. KEVIN: THINGS ARE LOOKING A LOT MORE POSITIVE FOR FOLKS ALONG NORTHERLY OHIO RIVER. ESPECIALLY IF YOU GET NORTH OF 71. A LOT OF US IN THE METRO HAVE SEEN THE WORST OF THE WEATHER WE ARE GOING TO SEE. THE WORST OF THE WEATHER IS A DROPPING SOUTH OF THE 71/75 SPLIT. OUR SOUTHERN PARTS OF OUR COUNTIES JUST ACROSS THE OHIO RIVER IN NORTHERN KENTUCKY, NOTICED A BIG CLUSTER OF LIGHTNING STRIKES THERE. THE SOUTHERN PARTS OF BOONE, KENTON AND CAMPBELL COUNTIES, THAT IS WHERE THE WORST OF THE WEATHER IS CURRENTLY. BACK TO SOUTHEAST INDIANA, WHILE THERE ARE STORMS, THERE ARE NO LONGER — THEY ARE NO LONGER SEVERE. IF YOU’RE IN PARTS OF FRANKLIN AND BUTLER COUNTIES, YOU’RE IN THE CLEAR. THAT WEATHER IS NO LONGER SEVERE. WARREN, CLINTON COUNTY’S, IT IS ALL SHIFTING SOUTH AND EAST OF CINCINNATI RIGHT NOW. IT IS ABOUT TO GET NASTY, DOWN THROUGH PARTS OF GRANTS, PENDLETON COUNTY’S, FROM DRY RIDGE OVER TOWARDS FALMOUTH. I WILL NOT BE SURPRISED IF YOU GET 40 TO 50 MILE-PER-HOUR WIND GUST. I CANNOT RULE OUT THAT. FOR THE MOST PART WE HAVE SEEN SUB SEVERE WIND GUSTS DESPITE THE FACT THAT WE HAVE HAD THEM SPOTTY POWER OUTAGES. THE STORMS ARE NOT AS SEVERE AS THE ONES WE DEALT WITH LAST WEEK. THEY ARE NO WALK IN THE PARK BUT THEY ARE NOT AS BAD AS LAST WEEK SEVERE WEATHER EVENT. SOUTHERN PARTS OF KENTON, CAMPBELL COUNTIES,, DANGEROUS LIGHTNING HEAVY RAINFALL, COMING DOWN 75. I WOULD EXPECT ESTE WINDS, — GUSTY WINDS. CLERMONT COUNTY PRODUCING A LOT OF LIGHTNING AS WELL, MAYBE A 40 TO 50 MILE-PER-HOUR WIND GUSTS. I CAN HEAR RICK — SOME THUNDER OUT IN THE STUDIO. NOTICE, THE FARTHER NORTH YOU GO, THINGS ARE IMPROVING CONSIDERABLY AROUND THE METRO. OUR — OUT TOWARDS WILMINGTON, HEAVY RAINFALL AND SOME STRONGER STORMS RIGHT NOW LINING UP FROM FAYETTEVILLE TO HILLSBORO. THESE WILL BE DROPPING DOWN INTO PARTS OF BROWN AND ADAMS COUNTY. AGAIN, THE BULK OF THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT, SHIFTING SOUTH AND EAST OF 71 AND EAST OF 75. LET ME THROW YOU SOMETIME TRACKS. GETTING INTO PLACES LIKE GEORGETOWN, THE POTENTIAL FOR GUSTY WINDS, AND HAVE YOUR STORMS, SO MORE ABOUT 6:20, IN ARE FAR EASTERN COMMUNITIES, MOUNT OLIVET, PEEBLES, WEST UNION, 7:15 TO 7:30 BEFORE THE STORMS REACH YOU GUYS. HERE WE ARE. RAIN COOLED. THESE STORMS ARE BRINGING HEAT RELIEF, MONTHLY COME THROUGH. TEMPERATURES QUICKLY CRASH FROM THE MID-90’S, FOR A LOT OF US, IT WAS A HOTTEST DAY OF THE YEAR. THE STORMS ARRIVE, YOU FALL BACK INTO THE 70’S. YOU CAN SEE HOW THE STORMS ARE IMPACTING TEMPERATURES AROUND THE AREA. ONCE IT STORMS IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD, TEMPERATURES FALL BACK INTO THE 70’S AND 80’S AROUND THE AREA. 82 IN SHARONVILLE. STILL SHOWING 86 IN HYDE PARK. 71 IN CINCINNATI. WAITING FOR THE FORT WRIGHT MONITOR TO UPDATE. MANY OF THESE AREAS, YOU HAVE DROPPED OFF INTO THE 70’S TOO. THE GOOD NEWS. THIS DOESN’T GO ON ALL NIGHT. HERE IN THE METRO BY 8:00, THINGS ARE QUIET. IT TURNS MORE COMFORTABLE, LOWER HUMIDITY BY MORNING. WE’RE DOWN TO 66. A FANTASTIC LATE THE JUNE SUMMER AFTERNOON TOMORROW AFTERNOON. IT IS COOLER AND LESS HUMID. 85 FOR YOUR AFTERNOON HIGH. IT WILL BE A NICE ONE FOR YOUR THURSDAY, ESPECIALLY GIVEN THE HUMIDITY DIP AND IT WILL FEEL MUCH MORE REFRESHING OUT THERE. AS PROMISED, THURSDAY AND FRIDAY ARE BEAUTIFUL WEATHER DAYS, FOR DOING ANYTHING OUTDOORS, SUMMER ACTIVITY WISE. WE WILL KEEP AN EYE ON THE WEEKEND, HEAT AND HUMIDITY EXPECTED TO BUILD BACK INTO THE AREA. I’M WATCHING SATURDAY, BUT IF I HAD TO PICK A DAY, THAT WOULD BE WHATT — WHAT ARE OF THE TWO, SUNDAY WILL GIVE US THE BEST CHANCE OF WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. MIKE
