Pop up storms possible Wednesday with chance for severe weather

EFFECT. THE CAUSE IS UNDER INVESTIGATION. KELLY: LET’S TALK ABOUT THE FORECAST. IT IS HOT AND STEAMY AND WE DON’T HAVE ANY SHOWERS RIGHT NOW, BUT THAT WILL CHANGE. RANDI: THAT IS GOING TO CHANGE. YOU CAN SEE WHAT THEY ARE DEALING WITH NORTH OF DAYTON. THEY’VE GOT STRONGER STORMS, BUT YOU FEEL IT AS SOON AS YOU WALK OUTSIDE. THIS IS PRIMED FOR ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT AS THIS LINE STARTS TO MOVE OUR WAY. I WANT TO SHOW YOU THAT ONE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNING, WELL TO THE NORTH OF DAYTON, MOVING SOUTHEAST AT ABOUT 40 MILES PER HOUR. THIS ONE WAS FOR 60 MILE AN HOUR WIND. IT LOOKS LIKE ANYWHERE FROM 45 TO 53 MILE AN HOUR WIND WITH THIS AS IT IS MOVING THROUGH DAYTON. GENERALLY IF IT HOLDS, AND IT LIKELY WILL, YOU ARE GOING TO BE SEEING RAIN IN OUR AREA. NORTHERN PORTIONS OF WARREN COUNTY AND CLINTON COUNTY ARE LIKELY TO BE IN THE TRACK OF THIS STORM. IT WILL BE IN SILVER CREEK AT 1:00. WILMINGTON ABOUT A QUARTER AFTER. AGAIN, WATCHING THIS STORM THAT HAS INTENSE RAINFALL AND A LOT OF LIGHTNING ALONG WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR GUSTY WIND ON THAT LEADING EDGE AS IT IS CROSSING 75 AND 70 NEAR THE DAYTON AIRPORT. WE HAVE THE POTENTIAL FOR A COUPLE OF DOWN BURSTS TO HAPPEN OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS, BUT I AM WATCHING THIS LINE START TO FILL IN. AS THIS PROVES OUR DIRECTION, WE HAVE PERFECT CONDITIONS FOR THE STATE INTENSIFY MORE. GUSTY WIND DEFINITELY A POSSIBILITY ALONG WITH INTENSE RAIN. POSSIBLY STRONG OR SEVERE WIND, AND DEPENDING ON HOW HEAVY THE RAIN, HIGH WATER THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. EVEN THOUGH RIGHT NOW YOU ARE JUST SWEATING IT OUT. I WERE STORM THREATS THE REST OF THE DAY, HEAVY RAIN IS THE PREDOMINANT THREAT. DO NOT DISCOUNT THAT. OVERNIGHT, AREAS NEAR COLUMBUS RECEIVED UPWARDS OF FIVE INCHES AND THEIR HIGHWAYS WERE FLOODED. WE HAVE THAT POSSIBILITY. SO MUCH WATER VAPOR IN THE ATMOSPHERE, THE HIGH HUMIDITY COULD LEAD TO SOME INTENSE DOWNPOURS. ALSO THE POSSIBILITY FOR STRONG WIND. MAYBE A COUPLE OF HAILERS. FUTURECAST IS NOT DOING A GREAT JOB WITH THIS THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. I WANT YOU TO SEE THAT LINE DROPPING DOWN FROM DAYTON AND EXTENDING BACK TO INDY, FILLING IN AS IT MOVES OUR WAY ON BLOSSOMING WITH INTENSE RAIN AND VIVID LIGHTNING THROUGH THE HEART OF THE MIDDLE OF THE AFTERNOON AND POTENTIALLY MOVING SOUTH, POSSIBLY QUIETING IT DOWN. KEEPING THE MUGGY FEEL IT IN PLACE. TEMPERATURE RISE, 87 DEGREES IN CINCINNATI. OXFORD COMING IN AT 91. I THINK THERE’S PROBABLY SOMETHING WRONG WITH THEIR DEW POINT SENSOR, IT IS REGISTERING 87, WHICH WOULD BE AGGRESSIVE. EVEN IF I BROUGHT THAT DOWN TO AN 83, IT WOULD STILL FEEL LIKE 110 IN OXFORD. A HOT WHEN IN OXFORD. FEELS LIKE 107 IN HARRISON. TRIPLE DIGITS IN CINCINNATI AND ALEXANDRIA. CURRENTLY, 87 DEGREES BUT THE DEW POINT AT THE AIRPORT IS 78. IT IS A WARM AND MUGGY AFTERNOON. A DOWNPOUR WOULD BRIEFLY PROVIDE RELIEF. YOU CAN SEE WHERE WE ARE HEADED THROUGH THE AFTERNOON, TEMPERATURES IN THE LOW 90’S, FEEL LIKE 110. WATCHING THE POTENTIAL FOR STORMS AGAIN AS WE HEAD THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING. TONIGHT, 74 WITH A CHANCE FOR STORMS OVERNIGHT. TOMORROW, MORE OF THE SAME. HUMID, HOT, SCATTER DOWNPOURS. A FRONT FINALLY MOVES THROUGH FRIDAY AND BREAKS THE CYCLE. TODAY AND TOMORROW AT ANY POINT, BE PREPARED FOR RAIN AND THUNDERSTORMS AND HIGH HUMIDITY UNTIL FRIDAY EVENING. YOU WILL NOTICE A DIFFERENCE BY THE WEEKEND.
