ALL RIGHT, LET’S TALK ABOUT WHERE WE GO FROM HERE. WE NEED TO DRY OUT, AND WE NEED TO WARM UP WITH IT. I DON’T HAVE A LOT. I CAN’T GIVE YOU ALL THOSE THINGS. BUT WE ARE LOOKING AT DRIER CONDITIONS TODAY, WHICH IS GREAT. AND THEN MUCH COLDER AIR. UNFORTUNATELY, TAKING OVER FOR TONIGHT AND TOMORROW. RADAR SHOWING THIS MORNING WE HAD A COUPLE OF VERY LIGHT SPRINKLES OVER THE LAST HALF HOUR OR SO. GENERALLY PRETTY QUIET RIGHT NOW AS WE GET INTO THE AFTERNOON, THERE IS THE CHANCE FOR A LINE OF SHOWERS TO COME THROUGH AS COLDER AIR COMES RUSHING IN. SO LET’S TAKE A LOOK AT THE FUTURECAST THIS MORNING. EARLY MORNING SPRINKLES KIND OF MOVING OUT. I EXPECT TO SEE SOME SUNSHINE, BUT IT’S GOING TO BE A WINDY DAY. AND THIS AFTERNOON CLOUDS ARE RIGHT BACK IN PLACE AS OUR TEMPERATURES HIT THE MID 50S ON THE BACKSIDE OF THIS BIG SYSTEM THAT’S BEEN BUGGING US BASICALLY THE ENTIRE MONTH OF APRIL. THERE IS A COLD FRONT THAT’S GOING TO SLIDE THROUGH. BRING US THE CHANCE FOR A VERY BRIEF PASSING, SPRINKLE NEGLIGIBLE AMOUNTS OF RAIN, NOT GOING TO IMPACT THE FLOODING CONDITIONS ANY FROM THIS EVENING. RAIN SHOWER. BUT BACK BEHIND IT YOU ARE GOING TO NOTICE A DIFFERENCE. OUR TEMPERATURES TONIGHT WILL TAKE A DIVE DOWN INTO THE 20S. SO THIS MORNING WE’RE STARTING OUT IN THE 30S. IT’S CHILLY THIS AFTERNOON, WINDY AND 55. AND THEN TONIGHT AFTER THE BRIEF SHOWERS, WE’RE DROPPING ALL THE WAY DOWN INTO THE 20S. SO TOMORROW MORNING WE DO HAVE A FREEZE WARNING. IN EFFECT. IT’S GOING TO BE A COLD START. I KNOW WE HAD SOME NICE WEATHER BACK IN MARCH. MAYBE YOU GOT SOME EARLY PLANTING DONE. KNOW THAT YOU NEED TO PROTECT THOSE PLANTS TONIGHT BECAUSE WE’RE DIP INTO THE 20S. WANT TO SHOW YOU THE RIVER FLOODING MAP. WHITEWATER RIVER LOOKING GOOD BACK IN INDIANA. WE JUST GAVE YOU THE UPDATE ON THE GREAT MIAMI, THE LITTLE MIAMI CRESTED OVER THE WEEKEND. ALREADY BACK DOWN WITHIN ITS BANKS. THE OHIO RIVER WILL CREST FOR US THIS MORNING. AND THEN YOU CAN SEE AREAS DOWN TOWARD THE KENTUCKY RIVER AT LOCKPORT LOOKING AT MAJOR FLOODING. THEIR LATEST NUMBERS ON THE LICKING RIVER, 38.6FT. WHEN IT CRESTED YESTERDAY, RIGHT NOW AT 37.8, IT IS CONTINUING TO DROP AND WE’LL BE BACK IN ACTION STAGE BY TOMORROW MORNING. THE KENTUCKY RIVER AT LOCKPORT. MAJOR FLOODING IS OCCURRING. IT’S AT ABOUT 52.6FT RIGHT NOW, EXPECTED TO CREST LATE TONIGHT AT JUST SHY OF 55FT, WHICH IS REALLY THE HIGHEST RIVER LEVEL THEY’VE HAD SINCE THE 1930S IN THAT AREA. DEVASTATING FLOODING IN THE CITY OF MONTEREY. AS WE LOOK AT THE GREAT MIAMI AGAIN, IT CRESTED LAST NIGHT. RIGHT NOW IT’S DOWN TO ABOUT 20FT, BUT IT WILL FALL BELOW FLOOD STAGE COMPLETELY BY WEDNESDAY MORNING, AND THE OHIO RIVER ACROSS THE AREA RIGHT NOW. MODERATE FLOOD STAGE AT CINCINNATI GOING UP ABOUT ANOTHER THIRD OF A FOOT HERE THIS MORNING. AND YOU’LL NOTICE MINOR FLOODING AT MARKLAND MELDAHL MAYSVILLE. ALL STILL ON THE WAY UP. EXPECTED TO STAY IN MINOR FLOOD STAGE. IT’S A LOT TO GO THROUGH AS WE TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT’S GOING ON TODAY. 55 DEGREES THIS AFTERNOON, A STRAY SHOWER POSSIBLE AND THEN HEADS UP FOR TOMORROW. IT’S GOING TO BE A COLD 123 IN THE MORNING. AND THEN ONLY IN THE MID 40S IN THE AFTERNOON WITH SUNSHINE. THERE WILL BE SOME RAIN LATER THIS WEEK WITH SHOWERS RETURNING WEDNESDAY AND MAYBE A COUPLE THUNDERSTORMS THURSDAY NIGHT. KATIE, WHAT’S THE LATEST WITH ALL THE TRAFFIC IMPACTS? YEAH, SO WE’VE GOT A LOT OF CLOSURES FOR FLOODING THIS MORNING. WE’RE CONTINUING DOWNSTREAM AS WE MAKE OUR WAY ALONG THE OHIO HERE
