We have a slight risk for the rest of the week but it looks as though we may be upgraded to a Moderate Risk friday. Friday looks to be very active.

 

Moderate risk for Friday...sounds like it could be an active day.  I guess we'll have to keep an eye to the skies.

 

Timing is everything. If the front arrives after dark Friday expect the severe levels to decrease. What happened to Thursdays chances? I see today storms north of I-70 and south of I-64. Why is it so nice here?

I'm not complaining!

The reason it is nice here is because we missed the trigger for the storms to develop. It was an old outflow boundary coming through but it  came through to early in the day.

Thursday is now looking quite active as well. Possible MDT risk for tomorrow as well.

Nothing is in a MDT risk yet, but if the timing is right we MAY wind up in one.

Because they are supposed to be nocturnal events they may not be a MDT risk but it will be active even after dark.

Great...more rain...so do any models suggest an end to this miserable weather pattern we're in or this going to be an all summer thing?

building ridge from monday through middle of next week!

MDT Risk for Friday. Upper End Slight risk today.  Today may be active later this afternoon.

We are featured in the "hatched area" Friday. This means that they expect some significant severe reports.

Significant severe is classified as one, two, or all of these things: EF-2 or higher tornadoes. T'Storm Winds over 75 MPH. Hail greater than 2 inches in diameter.

Friday is shaping up to be an active and wicked day of severe weather.

Stay safe out there!

Wow - this is an unusual Area Forecast Discussion from Wilmington:

Probably should monitor this for tomorrow....

The last time i heard a forecast like that from the NWS was April 7th 2006. (This was the only time that the SPC issued a High Risk area on the day two outlook). The cincinnati area was not in the high risk but  in a MDT risk that day and we got some wind damage from guess what....a derecho.

Thought it was an interesting similarity.

Like the other outbreak. SPC is forecasting individual supercells to develop through late afternoon and then a MCS to move through late night here.

They are really expecting a widespread out break.

Stay Safe and keep an Eye to the Sky!

Looks to be a very interesting day tomorrow, hmmm...let's hope everyone stays smart and uses common sense.  Remember, the sirens don't always work, if you think it's getting bad, take shelter.  And as nwswannabe said, stay safe and keep an eye to the sky!

Anybody have any idea when the weather will get bad?  I have to work until 2:30 and my kids will be at home.  I may have to take them over to my in-laws just in case.  We also have a wedding tomorrow evening. Guess the bride and groom will be dodging raindrops!!

You know, the rate at which the models have been going, it's not a sure thing as to when storms might arrive.  If you take them at face value (which is not plausible), tomorrow evening looks to be the most significant threat (12Z runs).  But..... there is certainly a chance that we might see a repeat of this morning with a threat of storms in the morning into afternoon. 

The storms are staying together much more vigorously south of the warm front which is now close to the Ohio river.  It will likely cross our area by tomorrow allowing us to be in the soupy air, thus supporting more of the storm activity for us. 

Lets see how the next model runs take our warm front and the timing.  The more time we have to heat up tomorrow (AM), the more likely we'll have the more stronger storms.  Will definitely need to watch.

Seems like tomorrow could be one of the most active days we've had in sometime.

I totally agree.

It is one of those things where you really don't knwo what is coming until it gets here. But certainly a CONSIDERABLE chance for a MAJOR  severe weather outbreak.
