Summary
Saturday’s Tri-State threat is centered on damaging straight-line winds, with the National Weather Service placing the region under a Slight Risk — Level 2 of 5 — for severe weather.
Storms could pop up between 4 p.m. and 5 p.m., then a stronger main line is expected from 8 p.m. to midnight, with the north most likely to see the line at its strongest.
Wind gusts may exceed 25 mph even before storms arrive, while hail and localized flooding remain possible during the 4 p.m. to 11 p.m. severe window.
Flood warnings from Friday’s heavy downpours remain in effect for Clermont and Hamilton counties until 8:45 a.m. Saturday, underscoring saturated ground before the next round.
By about 2 a.m. Sunday, the system should weaken, leaving only a few lingering showers or storms mainly south of downtown as temperatures move back toward seasonal norms.
