I had some pea sized hail as well. A couple 3 min periods of it.

Les had pea size hail as well for a short period but no doubt a 20 minutes of heavy rain and some nice lightning and thunder.

6pm totals - Event totals since yesterday:

CVG only picked up 0.02" so they are up to 0.37" now
Myself - I'm up to around 0.40" and the Boone Co mesonet site checking in with 0.42"

Probably not far from where Tim resides.

Cincinnati tri-state bullseye on the 00z HRRR. A swarm of supercells across the area tomorrow afternoon/evening...

06z NAM and HRRR continue to look very nasty. Nearly 2k of CAPE. Yikes.

Good morning! I will post more obviously once I get to work, but it'll be interesting to see how the morning convection and clouds will play a role. If the data is right, from 12-9pm we are fair game across the region to keep one eye, if not both eyes open. A moderate risk, 15% TOR hatched area, 30% wind and hail both hatched.... wow, it could be an interesting day later esp if we see some sunshine.

Happy Birthday to you Doug! You may get a "gift" from Mother Nature also today.

The front is still hanging out in the vicinity of our river counties(slightly north). The heaviest storms atm our near and south of the front and should have no problem keeping their intensity going as they move eastward

HAPPY 52ND BIRTHDAY DOUG!!

Enjoy your special day despite the storminess, Wxbuddy!

Looks like some cousins of mine and their families in southwest Indiana are in and near TOR warnings.

Prayers and thoughts with them this morning.

A couple tornadoes possible

Scattered damaging wind gusts to 70 mph likely
