Residents should expect sustained winds of 15 to 25 MPH with gusts to 45 MPH.
Gusty winds can cause tree branch damage. Scattered power outages will also be possible. Loose outdoor objects may be blown around. Difficult travel can be expected for high profile vehicles on east-west roadways.
A Wind Advisory means that wind gusts of over 40 mph are expected. Winds this strong can make driving difficult…especially for high profile vehicles. Use extra caution.
Special Weather Statement Update – Sunday, 4:45pm
A fast-moving storm system will cross the Ohio Valley Monday, bringing two rounds of copious rainfall, and wind gusts near 40 mph with locally damaging gusts possible in strong afternoon and evening thunderstorms.
Moderate to occasionally heavy rain will quickly overspread the area around midnight tonight, causing reduced visibilities at times, and possibly ponding and minor flooding of poor drainage areas.
After this rain exits the area Monday morning, a period of gusty south to southwest winds is likely. Gusts will approach 40 mph at times, making driving difficult on east-west roads.
A line of strong thunderstorms will move through Monday afternoon and early evening. The main hazard will be locally damaging wind gusts, with localized flooding also possible in areas that receive repeated heavy rain.
The weather will improve late in the evening, with gusty west winds and scattered showers expected by midnight Monday night.
Here are some reminders about flooding and what to do before, during and after.
