Flood Watch tonight for Greater Cincinnati

Added: 2026-05-24

[00:00:01]WASN’T THE BEST DAY TO DO IT, BUT WE’LL HAVE SOME TIME TO GET OUTSIDE FOR OUR BUSY WEEKEND.

[00:00:06]YEAH, I THINK TOMORROW AND SUNDAY.

[00:00:07]STILL A LOT OF DRY TIME.

[00:00:09]HEAD TO THE TASTE OF CINCINNATI.

[00:00:10]MAYBE YOU’RE HEADED TO THE REDS GAME OR SOMETHING.

[00:00:12]WE’VE GOT SOME PRETTY GOOD WEATHER AS WE HEAD INTO THE WEEKEND.

[00:00:14]JUST THIS EVENING.

[00:00:15]BIT OF A WASHOUT.

[00:00:17]IT HAS BEEN JUST A VERY RAINY, GLOOMY, DREARY END TO THE WORKWEEK THAT’S BEEN ALL THROUGHOUT THE DAY.

[00:00:23]IN FACT, WE PICKED UP A GOOD AMOUNT OF RAIN OUT THERE, SO SCATTERED SHOWERS CONTINUE ACROSS GREATER CINCINNATI, AND WE’RE SEEING A FEW MORE BREAKS HERE OR THERE, BUT I AM STILL EXPECTING A COUPLE MORE HOURS OF THIS SOAKING RAIN TO CONTINUE.

[00:00:37]AND ALSO, WE’RE SEEING A FEW MORE OF THESE HEAVY DOWNPOURS FROM ANDERSON, NEWTOWN, AND THIS IS GOING TO BE PUSHING UP TOWARDS SILVERTON BLUE ASH.

[00:00:45]EVENTUALLY, MASON AND LOVELAND, A BIT MORE OF SOME LIGHTER RAIN ON THE WEST SIDE OF TOWN.

[00:00:50]WE’RE SEEING EVEN THESE HEAVIER DOWNPOURS EVEN FARTHER EAST THAT YOU GO FROM HILLSBORO, WILMINGTON.

[00:00:54]A LOT OF THE HEAVIER RAIN IS NOW NORTH OF MOUNT HOREB, AND SOME LIGHTER SHOWERS CLOSER TOWARDS THE RIVER AND EVEN CLOSER TOWARDS NEW RICHMOND.

[00:01:02]YOU’RE LOOKING AT SOME HEAVIER DOWNPOURS FROM UNION INDEPENDENCE, DRY RIDGE, CRITTENDEN.

[00:01:06]AND AS WE EVEN ZOOM OUT A BIT MORE STILL, SOME OF THAT HEAVY RAIN DOWN IN OWEN COUNTY.

[00:01:12]NOW, THERE WAS A FLASH FLOOD WARNING THAT HAS SINCE EXPIRED.

[00:01:15]JUST BECAUSE WE’RE NOT SEEING THE PERSISTENT AND CONSISTENT HEAVY RAINFALL OVER THE SAME AREA ANYMORE, WE’RE SEEING A FEW MORE BREAKS OUT THERE.

[00:01:22]YOU CAN SEE AS I ZOOM OUT AS WELL, THERE’S A FEW STRONGER STORMS, YOU COULD SAY SOUTH OF LOUISVILLE.

[00:01:27]THOSE ARE GOING TO BE MOVING INTO AN ENVIRONMENT WILL WHERE THEY’RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO WEAKEN QUITE A BIT, STILL GOING TO BE SEEING SOME OF THAT RAIN MOVE INTO CENTRAL KENTUCKY.

[00:01:36]BUT ANY OF THOSE STRONGER STORMS OFF TOWARDS OUR WEST, I’M ANTICIPATING THEM TO EVEN STAY SOUTH OF OUR AREA.

[00:01:42]BUT WE DO HAVE IS A FLOOD WATCH THAT GOES UNTIL LATE TONIGHT, 5 A.M. TOMORROW MORNING.

[00:01:47]THAT’S ALL ACROSS GREATER CINCINNATI.

[00:01:48]AND THEN A FEW FLOOD ADVISORIES HERE.

[00:01:50]THOSE ARE SOME OF THESE MORE HIGHLIGHTED, LIGHTER GREEN COLORS, LETTING US KNOW WE’VE SEEN STILL A DECENT AMOUNT OF RAIN ACROSS THE AREA.

[00:01:56]SOME OF US EVEN HAVE PICKED UP OVER AN INCH AND A HALF SINCE MIDNIGHT.

[00:02:00]A LOT OF THAT IS GOING TO BE ON THE EAST SIDE OF TOWN.

[00:02:03]SO YOU’RE LOOKING FROM LINCOLN OVER TOWARDS BATAVIA THAT HAS THE MOST AMOUNT OF RAIN.

[00:02:07]EVEN CINCINNATI HAS PICKED UP JUST OVER AN INCH AND A QUARTER.

[00:02:10]SO AS WE GO THROUGHOUT THE REST OF TONIGHT, STILL LOOKING AT THOSE WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND YOU STILL NEED TO WATCH FOR FLOODING, ESPECIALLY IN LOW LYING AREAS, AREAS THAT FLOOD TYPICALLY WITH A LOT OF RAIN WITH THAT FLOOD WATCH THAT GOES UNTIL 5 A.M.

[00:02:22]NOW, AS WE GO INTO TOMORROW, ON SATURDAY, WE’RE LOOKING AT STILL SOME MORNING SHOWERS THAT ARE OUT THERE.

[00:02:27]BY SUNDAY, WE’RE LOOKING AT PM SHOWERS, SO LOTS OF DRY TIME FOR SATURDAY AND SUNDAY BY MEMORIAL DAY, LOOKING AT MORE RAIN THAT’S GOING TO BE COMING INTO THE PICTURE.

[00:02:35]YOU’LL SEE AS WE GO THROUGH FUTURECAST.

[00:02:37]STILL A FEW MORE HOURS OF THE HEAVY SOAKING RAINFALL.

[00:02:41]I’M EXPECTING THAT TO CONTINUE AFTER MIDNIGHT.

[00:02:43]LET’S SAY 6 A.M. 8 A.M. THAT YOU’RE GOING TO BE WAKING UP.

[00:02:46]SHOWERS ARE GOING TO BE JUST A BIT LIGHTER AND A BIT MORE SCATTERED, SO THERE’S STILL GOING TO BE RAIN CHANCES TOMORROW MORNING.

[00:02:51]I THINK IT’S GOING TO BE A BIT MORE HIT AND MISS.

[00:02:54]I WOULD KEEP THAT UMBRELLA AROUND THOUGH, THROUGH AT LEAST THE MIDDLE PART OF THE DAY.

[00:02:58]AS WE HEAD TO THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING, YOU’LL SEE WE’LL BE ABLE TO DRY OUT A BIT MORE AS THE RAIN HEADS OFF TOWARDS THE EAST.

[00:03:04]STILL GOING TO BE PRETTY CLOUDY OUTSIDE.

[00:03:06]WE’LL BE DRY LATE SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY.

[00:03:08]MAY EVEN SEE SOME CLOUDS BREAK APART ON SUNDAY.

[00:03:10]BUT THEN WE HAVE ANOTHER CHANCE OF RAIN THAT ROLLS IN HERE SUNDAY EVENING.

[00:03:14]SO WE STILL HAVE SOME RAIN CHANCES OUT THERE.

[00:03:16]NOT AS MUCH OF RAIN AS WHAT WE SAW FOR TODAY.

[00:03:18]WE’LL ALSO SEE THOSE TEMPERATURES WARM UP A BIT MORE, SO 70S FOR BOTH SATURDAY AND ON SUNDAY.

[00:03:24]MEMORIAL DAY ALSO LOOKING WARM TOO.

[00:03:26]WE’RE GOING TO BE IN THE UPPER 70S IMPACT DAY ON MONDAY BECAUSE OF THOSE RAIN AND STORM CHANCES.

[00:03:31]ON MEMORIAL DAY AFTER MEMORIAL DAY, WE’RE GOING TO BE DRYING OUT, LOOKING AT A LOT OF SUNSHINE STARTING ON TUESDAY, CONTINUING INTO NEXT WEEK.

[00:03:37]ALSO GOING TO BE SEEING THOSE
