Tornado Warnings Expire, But Flooding Threat Still Looms Across Cincinnati Region
Hey everyone, just wanted to take a moment to talk about the intense weather we experienced earlier this evening and where things currently stand. It's been a chaotic few hours for Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky, with multiple tornado warnings, severe thunderstorms, and now ongoing concerns about flooding.
To start with, the good news—those tornado warnings that had many of us on high alert earlier have officially expired. That includes warnings for places like Butler County, Florence, and Covington. There were sirens going off, radar-confirmed supercells, and a lot of people scrambling to take shelter, especially near the CVG Airport area. At one point, there was even talk of folks at the airport heading underground to take cover. It was a real reminder of how unpredictable and dangerous severe weather can get in just a short amount of time.

Now, while the threat of tornadoes seems to be behind us for the night, we’re not quite out of the woods yet. A flood advisory remains in effect for several counties including Hamilton, Boone, Kenton, Campbell, and parts of Indiana like Dearborn. This advisory goes until at least 11:30 p.m., and for good reason—some areas have already picked up over an inch of rain, and more is still on the way. Low-lying and poorly drained roads are especially risky right now, so please remember: turn around, don’t drown . Most flood-related fatalities happen in vehicles, so it’s simply not worth the risk.
Also, we’re seeing power outages across parts of Northern Kentucky and Greater Cincinnati—over 1,500 people without electricity. Downed trees and power lines have been reported in places like Edgewood, Erlanger, and Crestview Hills. If you do see a downed line, do not touch it or anything it might be contacting, like a tree or fence. Call Duke Energy or 911 immediately.
The storms are expected to taper off overnight, but flooding will likely remain a concern through Monday morning. Temperatures tonight will drop through the 70s, and we could see more rain early Monday before a temporary dry-out. However, don’t get too comfortable—by Thursday, we’re looking at temperatures climbing back into the 90s with heat index values pushing 102.
So again, while the tornado threat has eased, please stay alert, especially if you're in a flood-prone area. Keep checking for updates, and if you’ve seen damage or flooding in your area, consider sending photos or reports to your local news station to help keep the community informed.
Stay safe, stay dry, and keep an eye on that radar.
