Looks like you folks are in for a rough day. My daughter and grandkids live in south-central Illinois. Haven’t been able to get ahold of them yet to see what’s going on in their neck of the woods.

I've never seen the Cincinnati Tristate at this level of risk before and I watch the weather very closely. I expect a PDS for the Cincinnati Tristate area.

The Cincy area got pummelled in the 74 Super Outbreak. My godfather’s lawn literally got roto-tilled by the hail.

It’s only 51 in Cincinnati. I’m curious if there’s enough time and clearing for the temperature to climb into the upper 60’s as predicted?

Check out the fronts on the map I posted. The warm front hasn’t come through your area yet. That is what will add the warmth, humidity and instability.

Isn’t that something? I’ve seen hail stones before but never any that big.
