There's one part of our forecast that makes these incoming storms of particular concern: The Storm Prediction Center (SPC) has the entire Tri-State under a 'Significant Tornado Outlook.'

Wednesday is a Weather Alert Day as we prepare for another night of strong storms. A Flood Watch is in effect Wednesday-Sunday. We've got a warm and windy Wednesday. As the warm air moves in there will be a few pockets of rain. Those are gone by late morning.

Severe weather tore through Southwest and Central Ohio on Sunday night, damaging homes, closing at least one school district and sending at least one child to the hospital in Columbus. At least three tornadoes touched down Sunday night in Butler and Warren counties, National Weather Service officials confirmed Monday afternoon.

The main threats with Wednesday’s storms are damaging winds, heavy rain, large hail, and possible tornadoes, the FOX19 NOW First Alert Weather Team says. "While the chance of a major tornado, EF3 or stronger, is fairly low, it cannot be ruled out," Chief Meterologist Steve Horstmeyer says.

The National Weather Service says a "multi-day catastrophic and potentially historic" storm is expected to impact multiple states beginning on Wednesday.

Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky are in for more severe storms this week just after three tornadoes developed in the region Sunday night.

By Wednesday, we quickly warm back into the 70s. However, an active pattern is back again for the second half of the week with the chance for strong storms possible Thursday and Friday.
