Impact Day: Storm Clusters Could Bring Strong Winds, Rain, Hail Late Monday Into Early Tuesday
Storm clusters may bring strong winds, heavy rain and hail, with rainfall totals reaching 0.5 to 1.5 inches by Tuesday, meteorologists said.
Cincinnati faces potential hazardous weather as a developing storm system moves into the region Monday night into Tuesday. The National Weather Service in Wilmington warns of strong to severe thunderstorms with damaging winds and large hail.
An Extreme Heat Warning remains in effect through Tuesday, with heat index values reaching 101. A large ridge of high pressure over the Rockies and Plains steers disturbances southeast into the Ohio Valley.
Meteorologist Christine Aiena warns of multiple rounds of storms, stating, "It almost looks like a train of storms — there's just one after another after another." Flooding and 58-plus mph winds are possible in the strongest cells.
Rain totals could reach one and a half inches as showers and thunderstorms continue overnight. The active weather pattern is expected to move out of the region early Tuesday morning.
A cold front pushing through the Ohio Valley will bring temperatures back to seasonal norms by midweek. Cooler air settles into the region for the remainder of the week, with highs dropping into the mid 80s.
