Rain overnight with strong winds Sunday

Happy Saturday! It was a perfect day to get those holiday decorations up, but if you have inflatables, don’t turn them on just yet!

As we go through the rest of the evening and overnight tonight, we will have the potential to see scattered showers and stronger winds. Clouds will continue to increase and then we will see rain move in as we get closer to midnight. Isolated showers may be possible as early as 8 to 9 p.m. but it is more likely we see the heavier rain after midnight.

The rain continues into Sunday morning, possibly heavy at times.

Heavy downpours of rain will be possible through the dark hours of Monday morning with waves of rain coming in from the southwest. Altogether we could see some areas of 1 to 1.5 inches of rainfall by the end of Sunday. Because of the clouds and rain it should stay mild overnight with the upper 40s.

Another part of the system that will impact us is the wind. Strong winds will pick up overnight, but Sunday is the time they will be strongest. Gusts of 25 to 45 mph will be possible during the middle of the day as the center of the storm grows closer. Because of this, a Wind Advisory has been issued and is in effect from 8 a.m. ET to 3 p.m. ET on Sunday. The following counties are included in that advisory.

OHIO: Hamilton, Clermont, Brown
KENTUCKY: Boone, Kenton, Campbell, Bracken, Carroll, Gallatin, Mason, Grant, Owen, Pendleton, Robertson
INDIANA: Ohio & Switzerland

Isolated showers will be possible during the afternoon on Sunday with temperatures in the mid 50s. However, the heaviest rain should be done by noon, if not earlier.

Monday will be dry for most communities but there may be an occasional isolated shower that pops up. Temperatures will be into the mid to upper 40s with winds from the west around 5 to 10 mph.

Tuesday will be much warmer with temperatures into the upper 50s and a strong south wind at 10 to 20 mph. That will also bring in more clouds later in the day which also brings the next chance at rain for the overnight and Wednesday.
