LEADING THE WAY. ALL RIGHT, SO THOSE STORM THREATS HAVE MOVED OUT OF THE REGION. WE HAVE A MUCH DRIER FORECAST FOR THIS MEMORIAL DAY. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING WITH US. I’M MEGAN MITCHELL, KELLY RIPPIN. I’M STEVEN ALBRITTON. WE KNOW A LOT OF PLANS ARE IN THE WORKS FOR TODAY, BUT WE ARE STILL TRACKING AT LEAST A CHANCE FOR SOME SHOWERS THIS MORNING. SO METEOROLOGIST RANDI RICO BREAKING DOWN THIS FORECAST FOR US ON MEMORIAL DAY. RANDI. WELL, THE STRONG STORMS ARE GONE, RIGHT? THE TORNADO WATCH FOR OUR AREA WAS DROPPED HOURS EARLY. WHAT WE’RE LEFT WITH NOW AS WE TAKE A LOOK AT THE RADAR AS A WHOLE, NOT A WHOLE LOT OVER THE LAST HOUR OR SO, WE’VE BEEN COMPLETELY DRY WITH THE BULK OF THIS RAIN. NOW SHIFTING INTO EASTERN OHIO, INTO WEST VIRGINIA, PENNSYLVANIA ABOUT TO GET IN ON SOME OF THE ACTION. AND OBVIOUSLY ANY ONGOING SEVERE WEATHER NOW DOWN IN THROUGH NORTHERN TENNESSEE. NOW ON THE BACK SIDE OF THIS SYSTEM, YOU SEE WHAT WE TYPICALLY GET ON THE BACKSIDE OF AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE, SOME BREEZY CONDITIONS AND SOME STRAGGLERS SHOWERS. IN FACT, IF WE LOOK AT THE INDIANAPOLIS RADAR SITE HERE, YOU CAN SEE THERE’S RAIN UP TOWARD FORT WAYNE, DOWN IN THROUGH MUNCIE, AND EVEN AN ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM THAT’S JUST OUTSIDE OF INDIANA. SO WE’RE NOT TOTALLY RAIN FREE, BUT A COUPLE OF STRAGGLER SHOWERS, MAYBE AN ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM, A POSSIBILITY FOR US THIS MORNING, BUT THEY’RE GOING TO BE VERY SPOTTY. MOST PLACES ARE GOING TO BE RELATIVELY DRY AS WE GO THROUGH THE DAY. TEMPERATURE WISE, LOW 60S TO START OUT THE MORNING. IT IS 63 DEGREES IN CINCINNATI, 65 IN HARRISON, SAME THING IN SPRINGBORO, 63 CURRENTLY IN FLORENCE. SO AS WE GO THROUGH THE NEXT 12 HOURS, KIND OF TAKE YOU THROUGH YOUR MEMORIAL DAY RIGHT NOW, 63 TOTALLY DRY, BUT AS WE HIT KIND OF THE, YOU KNOW, EIGHT, 9:10 A.M. TIME FRAME, THERE’S A CHANCE FOR A FEW TOWNS TO SEE A SHOWER OR AN ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM. WE GET INTO THE AFTERNOON AND OUR TEMPERATURES SHOULD BE INTO THE UPPER 70S. SO ALL IN ALL, IN THE MORNING, YOU KNOW, A STRAGGLER SHOWER OR STORM IS A POSSIBILITY. THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING BREEZY AND MOSTLY DRY. A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE SOME TRAVEL PLANS HERE TODAY. LET’S GET OVER TO KATIE DONOVAN AND SEE WHAT’S HAPPENING ON THE ROADS. THANKFULLY IT’S A QUIET MORNING ON THE ROADS. WILL HOPEFULLY CONTINUE THAT OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS. 74 COLERAIN AND BEEKMAN HARDLY A CAR OUT THERE THIS MORNING AND 71 175 AT KYLE’S. DEFINITELY SOME TRAFFIC IN THE NORTH AND THE SOUTHBOUND LANES, BUT NOT QUITE AS HEAVY AS WHAT WE USUALLY SEE IN THE MORNING THROUGH THE 275 LOOP. LOOKS PRETTY CLEAR HERE AS WE START OUT YOUR AFTERNOON MORNING GOT NORMAL DRIVE TIMES FOR THE MOST PART. TASTE OF CINCINNATI HAPPENING AGAIN TODAY. SO JUST A REMINDER OF THOSE DOWNTOWN CLOSURES. NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO USE THOSE STREETS HIGHLIGHTED IN PURPLE SYCAMORE BETWEEN SIX AND FOURTH BROADWAY BETWEEN FOURTH AND SIXTH AND CENTENNIAL AND LAWRENCE STREETS. AGAIN, THAT HAS BEEN CAUSING SOME SLOWDOWNS OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS FOR DOWNTOWN DRIVERS. FOR THE MOST PART, DRIVE TIMES REMAIN NORMAL. YOU KNOW, IF ANY OTHER ISSUES POP UP. GUYS, BACK TO YOU. ALL RIGHT, KATIE, THANK YOU SO MUCH. POWER HAS BEEN RESTORED FOR THOUSANDS THIS MORNING AFTER STRONG STORMS KNOCKED OUT POWER LINES OVER THE WEEKEND. AT THE PEAK YESTERDAY, NEARLY 5000 CUSTOMERS WERE WITHOUT POWER THROUGHOUT THE GREATER CINCINNATI AREA. MOST OF THOSE OUTAGES WERE CAUSED BY TOPPLED TREES AND DOWNED POWER LINES. NEIGHBORS IN CHEVIOT WERE LEFT WITHOUT POWER FOR HOURS YESTERDAY. IN ONE PARTICULAR OUTAGE HAPPENED ON MONTANA AVENUE NEAR CRAIG AVENUE, THIS AFTER A TREE FELL ON TOP OF SOME POWER LINES. DUKE ENERGY TELLING US CREWS WERE OUT ALL NIGHT TRACKING THESE OUTAGES BEFORE POWER WAS SHORTLY RETURNED AROUND MIDNIGHT. ABOUT 400 PEOPLE STILL ACROSS THE AREA, STILL WITHOUT, AND NOW THOSE WINDS SWEPT ACROSS NORTHERN KENTUCKY, TURNING A NEWLY CONSTRUCTED BARN UPSIDE DOWN, TOSSING IT INTO THE TREES. THIS IS A BEFORE LOOK AT THAT BUILDING. THE OWNER SAYS. THE METAL BARN WAS JUST RECENTLY BUILT AND IT WAS TOPPLED OVER AND RIPPED APART, WE’RE TOLD. THANKFULLY HERE NOBODY WAS HURT.
