Hot today. Active weather return this evening into Thursday. |
Dry weather continues through this afternoon, thanks to a surface high pressure. However, temperatures quickly warm today as the high pressure slides east of the region. High humidity and temperatures in the mid 90s will provide heat index values around 100 this afternoon and evening across the lowlands. Anyone without effective cooling and adequate hydration may be adversely affected by the heat today. A more active weather pattern returns this evening with showers and strong to severe thunderstorms affecting mainly southeast Ohio late this afternoon and evening. Strong to severe thunderstorms, and localized flash flooding will become more widespread for the Fourth of July holiday, as a cold front crosses the area. Drying out Saturday night into Monday though as a cold front moves eastward. Get additional details in our Area Forecast Discussion... |

Flash Flood Guidance |
Flash Flood Guidance (FFG) provides a general indication of the amount of rainfall evenly distributed over various durations (in hours), necessary to cause small streams to overflow their natural banks. During heavy rainfall, accurate interpretation of the guidance consists of the combination of rainfall that has already occurred plus any additional rainfall that can be confidently expected to fall over the same location in the immediate future.
It should be noted that FFG values represent estimates of average soil moisture and stream flow conditions. Flooding may occur with less rainfall than indicated in areas of high rainfall intensities, impervious surfaces, or steep slopes.
