I know I'm going to jinx it by saying this, but I hope the heat stays away.  I HATE Summer....loathe it and destest it....especially around Cincinnati with its darned mugginess.  As far as I'm concerned, bring on Autumn (hopefully the temps will be cool) and a cold, extremely snowy Winter.BUT.......Knowing my luck, that won't happen.

Here in West Chester, I'd venture a guess that we got about 4.5''- 5'' altogether between 11pm - 3:30am.  The lightning was like a constant barrage of fireworks exploding overhead.  I've seen frequent lightning flashes before, but nothing like that.  It was literally non-stop.My mom lives in West Hamilton - on a hill, at that - and she had a few ...

No, I didn't watch this morning, James.  I was sleeping, too.  Guess if I had watched, I wouldn't have had a need to post my idiotic response.  Sorry 'bout that.

So are we in a lull right now?  It's going on noon, and hasn't rained around here for the past few hours.  Are we going to get more this afternoon, or is it done now?  The sun has even been peeking in and out.  I thought the rain was supposed to go on basically all day until later this evening?  Isn't that why a flood watch

wishin4spring:Hey trebor, I wondered about you last night when I heard that West Chester was getting slammed! I live in Northern Colerain Twp and we didnt get anything except some lightening and maybe a little rain (my kids told me that it did in fact rain later last night but I was sound asleep). Anyway, glad to know that you are fine. I also ...

bombshell:Is anyone else frustrated with the whole weather siren situation!  Today I saw a watch come on my tv and it was not even in my area I went out to get dinner for my family and all of a sudden the sirens were going crazy.  I had no idea what it meant.  Here I am in my car and all I can see are dark clouds.  I have no ...

nwswannabe:Living here in northern kentucky we haven't seen much...yet. But i have a question that have wanted to ask for a long time and that is why do you local 12 not use your live radar in life threatening situations? why do you insist on using dated level 2 nexrad data (ESP Storm Vision) that takes up to 5 minutes to update? There are some of

nwswannabe:This was an old watch. There was a new one that was extended to all of the tri-state. so don't blame the NWS or the SPC. They did their jobs and put out watches and warnings.Not to sound like I'm mad at you, but we don't all have our butts plastered in front of the TV or next to a radio on Saturday evening, so I don't appreciate being ...

Isn't it amazing how the counties most directly affected by the severe weather tonight weren't even included in the supposed ''Watch'' area...?????  And yet there were Tornado warnings issued for Butler, Warren, and Clinton counties up here?!?!Why doesn't the weather service give a flying fig if we, up here in the northern 'burbs, get blown ...

Okay, then it does stand to reason that the radar was time delayed.  I don't see how else it would make sense.  So when I was seeing the yellow and orange, I was actually looking at what happened about 5-10 minutes earlier in real time outside my window.
