It’s a 9 First Warning Weather Alert Day due to the risk of strong to severe storms this evening. The Storm Prediction Center has a large portion of our area under a “slight risk” for severe storms, and an “enhanced risk” has also been added for portions of Northern Kentucky. Damaging wind gusts are the top concern. This could impact the 50 West Mile set to start at 7 p.m.
WCPO
The majority of our counties are under a Severe Thunderstorm Watch until 9 p.m.
WCPO
We’ll see isolated showers and storms last until 10 p.m. This is when we’ll also see our highest risk for severe storms.
WCPO
SATURDAY
The chance for rain on Saturday is nearly 100%, but the big question is how many hours of the day it will rain. The most likely time is after noon and continues through the afternoon hours with nearly widespread rain coverage. Temperatures will only increase to 63 degrees due to the clouds and rain. However, there is a potential window of opportunity in the morning to participate in the Toyota 10K. I wouldn’t call it completely “in the clear,” as there is still a spotty chance for storms, but it isn’t as likely as what we’ll see later in the day. Fingers crossed, we get a gap in the radar for this race!
WCPO
SUNDAY
The cutoff low will still be here on Sunday, but the system is finally starting to lose steam. This morning’s latest weather models show a dry start to the day on Sunday with an overcast sky. This gives us ideal conditions for the race, with temperatures starting in the low 50s and only warming to the mid-50s by the end of the race. Of course, we need to continue to monitor the latest models coming in, but it’s looking better than what we saw 24 hours ago. We’ll eventually see isolated showers on Sunday afternoon with a high of only 62 degrees.
