Tornado Watch now issued for Cincinnati Metro. I'm kind of surprised by this one to be honest, current radar doesn't signal much. 2 Tornado Watches in a week, big start to severe season.

Starting to see some convection building south of the line in the dry slot area the SPC mentioned. Will be interested to see how much they can really intensify.

Oh wow. I’ll be shocked to see anything significant but it seems they’ve been going all in today. maybe a cover their basis kind of thing. Don’t want to be caught with their pants down if something does pop off

This area on radar has strengthened decently since right after I made that post basically lol. Seems as if there is some wind potential still. 
 

And yeah the rain has been bad. Our sump almost never runs and it’s currently going every 20ish seconds.

Northern portion of the line really starting to strengthen as it pushes over the Ohio border. Surprised they haven’t done anything with the northern extent. I know velocities are week but it’s at that weird angle of the radar. Gotta think based on reflectivity and lightning it’s also producing. Should be good for some boomers around here at the least.

Those storms are screaming across the State. Doesn't give you a lot of time. I'd be ready to take shelter soon. 

Yeah hoping it’ll weaken or whatever. Keeping an eye on it.

The power is trying really hard to go out here at work. I’d even go as far as to say we are on generator power now. Not sure though. . That last flash was like a going out flash. It powered all the way down.
I hope power stays on at home.
