Good morning and Happy First Day of Spring! CVG picked up a half inch of rain overnight. More showers are excepted today. Perhaps even a few flakes as well. Then we await our next system due in late in the day Sunday. Highs in the 40s today, and mainly the 50s thereafter.

Next week continues to look seasonal for temps in the 50s with rain chances showing up Tues night into Wed, Wed night into Thurs then anything for next weekend is up in the air timing wise. Euro and GFS diverge by then.

Just had a shower pass thru here to dampen everything down and drop temps to around 40.

Brief graupel showers up this way.

Wow... I could hear the wind last night as the storms came thru. CVG is only 3 miles north of me.

Down to 39 now as of 5pm. Radar is calming down now. A few sprinkles / flurries are all that remain.

37 here and brief rain/snow showers up by the lake.

Wow! That had to be quite a sight for flight travelers at the terminal and those aboard planes on the tarmac at the time despite being a nocturnal touchdown. Any lightning flashes during that severe t-storm would have made the tornado visible, too, unless of course it was rain-wrapped making it somewhat more challenging to see.

CVG / DAY both got to 55 and CMH 58 in the predawn on Thurs.

Happy Friday and good morning to you all! Nive weather until Sunday when we get rained on. Another 1/2" plus looks good with this system. Another clipper like system Tues, then again Thurs then another one next weekend. Temps mainly look to be in the 50s for the next week and some change.

Good Morning and a busier week with the severe weather late Wednesday/early Thursday. Models were not very good on that storm in regards to location and kept moving it further south everyday. That is why we went from a slight chance of severe weather to a higher chance but models had a hard time keeping up. My son said he got 5 inches of snow on Wednesday and he has 3 more chances next week.

Les I agree about Sunday and 1/2 inch looks good unless you get a thundershower and that is possible but overall a steady rain. Next week rather normal for late March in terms of temps and precip. I can't wait until the milder air is set in for the season.

We'll have to wait until April IMO for that Tim.

I got down to 25 here this morning. Same with CVG. Had a nice frost too.

Strange that the NKY tornado report hasn't been added to the SPC reports.

NAM, GFS, and Euro all agree on a half inch of rain with our next system. GFS is faster, Sun morning, with the NAM and Euro bringing rain in during the afternoon.
