Cincinnati emergency crews rescue 2 people, dogs from high water in Madisonville

ALL RIGHT, TURNING TO OUR WEATHER. RIGHT NOW, WE HAVE CHIEF METEOROLOGIST KEVIN ROBINSON JOINING US RIGHT NOW. BUT RIGHT RIGHT NOW THIS IS GREEN TOWNSHIP. YOU CAN SEE THE RAIN ALREADY COMING DOWN THE GRAY SKIES. THIS IS GOING TO BE KIND OF THE PICTURE OF WHAT WE’RE GOING TO BE SEEING OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS. KEVIN. THOSE STRONG WINDS AND ALSO DOWNTOWN WE’RE SEEING SOME SIMILAR CONDITIONS. WE SAW THE REDS GAME GET POSTPONED A LITTLE WHILE AGO. YEAH. WE’VE GOT SOME NASTY LOOKING SKIES. CHECK THAT OUT THERE. YOU CAN SEE THE OMINOUS SKIES BEGINNING TO ROLL OVER DOWNTOWN CINCINNATI. THAT’S KIND OF A SHELF CLOUD YOU’RE SEEING. SO BEHIND THAT WILL COME THE WINDS AND GUSTY RAINS. I SUSPECT THE GREEN TOWNSHIP STORM TRACKER IS ALREADY BEHIND THE STRONGEST WINDS. AND WE WERE SEEING SOME OF THE STRONGER WINDS COME THROUGH THE MASON AREA THERE WITH THAT LIVE SHOT ABOUT 2 OR 3 MINUTES AGO. BUT THE KEY HERE IS PREPARE FOR SPOTTY POWER OUTAGES AND POTENTIAL WIND GUSTS 60 70MPH. I HAVE ALREADY SEEN A FEW REPORTS OF SOME TREE BRANCHES DOWN OUT IN THE WESTCHESTER AREA NEAR WESTCHESTER. SO YES, WINDS ARE CERTAINLY GOING TO BE STRONG ENOUGH IN SOME INSTANCES TO POTENTIALLY KNOCK OUT POWER AS THESE DARK SKIES OVERTAKE THE STADIUM. NO SURPRISE THERE. THEY HAVE POSTPONED, OR AT LEAST SHOULD I SAY DELAYED THE GAME. NOT POSTPONED, BUT DELAYED THE GAME. BASEBALL GAME THERE AT GREAT AMERICAN BALLPARK. BUT YOU CAN SEE THE FAST MOVING NATURE OF THESE CLOUDS. ALL RIGHT, LET’S GET OVER TO THE RADAR. AS THIS ACTION MOVES THROUGH. ESSENTIALLY EVERYONE IN THE GREATER CINCINNATI METRO AREA UNDER A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNING. RIGHT NOW, NOT EVERYONE’S GOING TO SEE A 60 TO 70 MILE AN HOUR WIND GUST, BUT IN POCKETS THAT WILL HAPPEN. SO LET’S START NORTH TO SOUTH ALLISON. LET’S WORK OUR WAY. FIRST UP HERE ON THE LEADING EDGE. THAT’S WHERE YOU’LL FIND THE STRONGEST WINDS ABOUT TO MOVE TOWARDS WAYNESVILLE. SO THAT’S THE REASON WHY SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNING NOW FROM WARREN COUNTY INTO CLINTON COUNTY. YOU’RE GIVING FOLKS IN WILMINGTON, FOLKS OUT HERE IN CLARKSVILLE. MIDLAND, THE HEADS UP. WATCH OUT ON INTERSTATE 71. POCKETS OF STRONG WINDS ON THIS SEGMENT OF THE STORM COMING IN TOWARDS MASON HERE. THIS IS WHAT WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR BRINGING DOWN SOME BRANCHES OUT THERE BETWEEN FAIRFIELD AND FOREST PARK. AND AGAIN, THE RADAR IS LOOKING A LITTLE HIGHER UP IN THE ATMOSPHERE, BUT THERE CONTINUES TO BE A SIGNAL AT LEAST ALOFT FOR WINDS TO BE OF SEVERE NATURE. SO AS A STORM GROWS UP TALL ENOUGH, IT CAN HELP TRANSFER SOME OF THESE WINDS THAT WE’RE SEEING ALOFT THAT ARE 60, 70MPH DOWN TO THE SURFACE, RIGHT ON THE LEADING EDGE. SO ALLISON, LET’S QUERY SOME OF THE LEADING EDGE WIND GUSTS HERE, BECAUSE YOU’RE PROBABLY GETTING, YOU KNOW, 4050 MILE AN HOUR WIND GUSTS FOR SURE. EVEN THOUGH THERE SUB SEVERE AS THEY COME THROUGH. SO I WOULD BE PREPARING FOR AGAIN SPOTTY POWER OUTAGES AS THESE STORMS MOVE THROUGH WARREN COUNTY HERE THE NEXT COUPLE OF MINUTES. SO MORROW MAINEVILLE LOVELAND, PROBABLY SOME 40 TO 60 MILE AN HOUR WINDS ON THE LEADING EDGE. AS THIS COMES THROUGH. LET’S GO BACK TO REFLECTIVITY AND CONTINUE TO TRACK THIS SOUTH DOWN INTO HAMILTON COUNTY. LOOK AT THIS BIG STORM. THERE’S OUR TOWER. CAM IS RIGHT ABOUT THERE. SO YOU ARE SEEING THIS SHELF CLOUD FROM THAT DOWNPOUR AND STORM MOVING INTO THE WEST SIDE OF THE CITY COULD HAVE SOME SPOTTY POWER OUTAGES ANYWHERE IN THE METRO. WHEN YOU GET INTO AN URBAN AREA AND YOU START TALKING 40 TO 60 MILE AN HOUR WINDS, YOU CAN BRING DOWN TREE BRANCHES AND POWER LINES. SO I’D BE PREPARED FOR SOME SPOTTY POWER OUTAGES AROUND THE CITY HERE OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF MINUTES, AND EVEN THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME TREES DOWN. ADDITIONAL BIG STORMS DOWN THROUGH NORTHERN KENTUCKY, BOONE COUNTY, KENTON COUNTY UNDER A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNING. RISING SUN GETTING HIT HARD, WARSAW BEING HIT HARD. AND LASTLY, LET’S GET YOU DOWN HERE INTO CARROLL COUNTY BECAUSE WE’RE KEEPING A CLOSE EYE ON THIS STORM. AND SOUTHERN CARROLL COUNTY HERE. THERE IT IS. RIGHT THERE YOU CAN SEE BETWEEN WARSAW SANDERS AND GLENCOE, CARROLL COUNTY UNDER A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNING. BUT IF YOU LOOK CLOSELY, THERE IS SOME BROAD ROTATION WITH THIS. AND THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IS KEEPING AN EYE ON THIS STORM. SO IF YOU’RE DOWN HERE IN SOUTHERN CARROLL COUNTY, WATCH OUT TOWARDS GLENCOE OR NEAR INTERSTATE 71 AS THIS STORM RIGHT NOW ONLY HAS A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNING ON IT. BUT IT COULD DO SOMETHING MORE HERE. SO WE’RE KEEPING A CLOSE EYE ON THAT. WE’LL CONTINUE TO SEE IF THIS ROTATION GETS A LITTLE TIGHTER THERE IN THE SOUTHERN PART OF CARROLL COUNTY, BUT WATCH OUT OVER TOWARDS GLENCOE BECAUSE THAT’S THE DIRECTION THE STORM IS MOVING. IF THEY WERE TO GO AHEAD AND UPGRADE THAT TO A TORNADO WARNING OR A TORNADO TAG TO THAT, THAT’S NOT HAPPENING AT THE MOMENT. BUT IT CERTAINLY DOES SHOW SOME ROTATION ON THIS STORM. SO, ALLISON LET’S COME BACK OUT. BIG PICTURE. ALL OF THIS IS GOING TO MOVE THROUGH OVER THE NEXT 1 TO 2 HOURS. BY THE TIME WE GET TO 8:00 NINE, I SHOULD SAY AT THE LATEST, I THINK NINE, THE SEVERE THREAT IS OVER FOR ALL OF US HERE IN THE METRO. AND THEN FURTHER EAST. THESE STORMS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE 10:00 HOUR BEFORE THAT SEVERE THREAT FADES. ALLISON IS TRACKING THE STORMS FROM THE METRO HEADING EAST. I’M GOING TO SEND IT OVER TO HER RIGHT NOW. YES. AS WE GO THROUGHOUT THE REST OF TONIGHT. STILL GOING TO WATCH AS THESE STORMS WORK THEIR WAY THROUGH HAMILTON COUNTY IN THE NEXT HOUR TO TWO HOURS. AS WE GET CLOSER TO THAT 9:00 TIME FRAME, THOUGH, THINGS START TO QUIET DOWN FOR AREAS AROUND HAMILTON COUNTY. BUT IF YOU ARE EAST OF I-70, ONE GOOD CHANCE THAT YOU STILL HAVEN’T SEEN THOSE STORMS QUITE YET, OR AT LEAST STARTING TO SEE THEM AT THEIR BEGINNING. ONCE WE GET TO ABOUT 10:00. I DO THINK THAT THESE STORMS ARE GOING TO BE MOVING OUT OF THE METRO AREA. NOTICE THAT WE’LL STILL HOLD ON TO A RAIN CHANCE THROUGHOUT THE OVERNIGHT. THAT SHOULD ALL REMAIN SUB SEVERE. I THINK THAT SEVERE WEATHER THREAT REALLY STARTS TO FADE AROUND 11:00 EVEN SOONER THAN THAT. TONIGHT, POSSIBLY AS EARLY AS ABOUT TEN NOW. TOMORROW THROUGHOUT THE DAY WE WILL SEE OFF AND ON SHOWERS, POSSIBLY ANOTHER RUMBLE OF THUNDER OR TWO AS THE COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH. BUT THINGS SHOULD REALLY START TO QUIET DOWN FOR US, AT LEAST RAIN WISE, AS WE HEAD INTO THE SECOND HALF OF THE WEEK. SO OUR SEVERE WEATHER WINDOW OPEN FROM NOW UNTIL 11. I’VE GOT 11 UP THERE AS PAD TIME. IT COULD BE AS EARLY AS ABOUT NINE FOR THE METRO, CLOSER TO TEN FOR SOME OF OUR EASTERN ZONES. SO KEEP THAT IN MIND. RAIN CHANCES ARE GOING TO KIND OF WRAP UP HERE AS WE HEAD INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. DAMAGING WINDS STILL REMAINS THAT PRIMARY THREAT. POWER OUTAGES ARE A POSSIBILITY. BUT AS KEVIN WAS TALKING ABOUT WITH THAT ONE CELL IN CARROLL COUNTY STILL CAN’T 100% RULE OUT THE POTENTIAL FOR A TORNADO. SO WE STILL HAVE THAT LOW END TORNADO THREAT IN THERE FOR TONIGHT. LIGHTNING IS SOMETHING THAT WE’LL BE DEALING WITH. WE HAVE THE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH UNTIL 10:00 FOR ALL OF GREATER CINCINNATI. THAT IS THE YELLOW THAT YOU SEE. THAT’S ALSO WHAT YOU SEE OCCASIONALLY GOING AT THE TOP OF YOUR SCREEN. THEN AS WE HEAD INTO THIS UPCOMING WEEKEND, WE’RE TALKING ABOUT BIG TIME HEAT. TEMPERATURES ARE GOING TO MAKE IT UP TO 90 FOR THE FIRST TIME SO FAR THIS SEASON. WE’RE BEHIND BY ABOUT TWO WEEKS ON THAT, AND HUMIDITY WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD HEADING INTO NEXT WEEK. WE’LL REALLY START TO FEEL THAT HEAT INDEX GOING UP. IN FACT, IT’S GOING TO FEEL LIKE CLOSER TO 100 MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY. WE’VE GOT IMPACT DAYS FOR THOSE DAYS BECAUSE OF HOW HOT IT’S GOING TO FEEL OUTSIDE. ALSO COULD SEE SOME POP UPS DEVELOPING HERE BY THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. SO THAT’S A WEEK FROM TODAY. BUT AGAIN, KEEPING A VERY CLOSE EYE ON EVERYTHING HAPPENING THROUGHOUT GREATER CINCINNATI RIGHT NOW. WE’LL BE WATCHING AND MONITORING FOR THE REST OF THE NIGHT. CHRIS. ALL RIGHT. ALLISON, KEVIN, THANK YOU SO MUCH. WE’VE BEEN TELLING YOU HOW BIG OF AN IMPACT ALL THESE STORMS ARE HAVING. THAT INCLUDES DOWNTOWN, WHERE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ARE GATHERED FOR THE REDS GAME. THE REDS ARE WAITING OUT THE STORM. THE FANS ARE TOO. SO HERE’S A LOOK AT GREAT AMERICAN BALLPARK. THE STORMS MOVING IN. AS YOU CAN SEE, THE NASTY SKIES OUT THERE. THERE’S A LARGE CROWD THERE TODAY INSIDE THE PARK FOR L.A. DE LA CRUZ BOBBLEHEAD NIGHT. WE’LL BE BAC
