Nasty Night

Posted by ns62590 on June 17, 2009

This afternoon has proved to be a nasty one as we have had a few rounds of thunderstorms. More of the same will be on the agenda tonight. Mahoning County has been placed under a flood advisory for the evening because of the tremendous amounts of rain we have received this afternoon. There will continue to be the threat for severe thunderstorms as well, with small hail and some windy conditions during the thunderstorms. However, I think the continuing problem will be very heavy rain. Please watch for ponding of water on roadways, especially in low drainage areas. Do not drive your car through flooded roadways. If you come across an area of high water on the road, turn around and find an alternate route. Be safe out there this evening everyone.

Three Days

Posted by ns62590 on June 17, 2009

The next three days will be really busy for the weather fanatics. A warm front will place itself over the Ohio Valley, and will be the trigger point for showers and thunderstorms as a series of disturbances will ride over the front. As these disturbances come through the area we will see the risk of showers and thunderstorms. During the afternoon and evening hours these thunderstorms have the potential to become severe with hail and winds being the main threats. Keep it here for the latest.
