(WSAZ) – Storms coming in from Western Kentucky and Southern Ohio packed a punch this morning, with multiple tornado warning issued over the region this morning. Heavy rain and ordinary thunderstorms should continue through the remainder of the morning, with a few of these storms possibly becoming strong with 60 mph wind gusts.
Eventually, the initial line will head out of the region, allowing some brief clearing toward midday. This will set the stage for southern spots within our area to see sunshine return to the region, allowing for more energy for thunderstorms to load up along and south of a stalled front. Any storm that fires up in this area will tap into a volatile environment, with large hail, damaging winds to 60 mph, and another tornado threat to exist over the region through the evening.
Meanwhile, warm moist air lifting over this stalled front will drive widespread rain and storms along and north of I-64 through the remainder of the day. This will develop a flash flooding threat, especially into interior southern Ohio. These storms will sag to the south during the overnight hours of tonight and into tomorrow, impacting areas as far south as the I-64 corridor. A Flood Watch is in place because of this until Sunday.
The front will lift back to the north on Saturday, allowing rain to clear the region. With southerly winds and sunshine, temperatures will soar back into the lower and middle 80s by Saturday afternoon. The front will finally pass through the region Sunday, driving storms over the entire region. The front will also usher in much cooler temperatures by next week, even potentially driving a few flakes over the higher elevation terrain by Tuesday morning. Highs will fall from the 80s on Saturday into the 50s By Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.
