Parts of the Ohio Valley refer to the rain and the potential that the severe climate starts Easter Week, since a cold front of rapid movement pushes through the region on Monday.
The cities of Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, Pennsylvania and Virginia Occidental are under the risk of a severe climate from Monday until early.
The NOAA Storm Prediction Center (SPC) says that more than 28 million people throughout the region will be at risk of severe electric storms on Monday. However, the SPC placed more than 9 million people from Kentucky to Pennsylvania at a level 2 level at its severe storm risk scale of 5 points.
Cities in the risk zone include Columbus and Cincinnati in Ohio, Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania, Charleston in West Virginia and Lexington in Kentucky.
The forecasters say that the main threats will be harmful winds and large hail, but some tornadoes are also possible.
In addition to these extreme climatic threats, any storm that develops can produce frequent rays of clouds to ground and periods of torrential rain.
While the front is expected to move rapidly, limiting the accumulations of total rain, localized or 1-2 inches are still possible.
The greatest threat of rain comes at a time when many rivers in the region are already working, and some still deal with the persistent impacts of recent floods, even along the rivers Theio and Kentucky.
In Cincinnati, the Ohio River rose above 60 feet, its highest level since at least 2018, which promised temporary closures of parks and roads in front of the river and the activation of gates to protect the low areas.
Further west, in Princeton, Indiana, cleaning efforts are still being carried out after an EF-1 tornado that landed on Thursday.
The storm damaged household disease, and now the region faces additional showers and storms that could complicate recovery efforts.
“There will be enough heat and instability in the atmosphere, triggered by that cold front, to support strong storms that will intensify during the afternoon and persist at night,” Fox Weather Weather Steve Bender said. “That means that places like Pittsburgh and Charleston, West Virginia, could face a night threat of severe climate, which is always more dangerous.”
After the passage of the cold front, the climate Pattert is still uncertain for the reminder of the holiday week.
Some computer forecast models suggest that additional weak frontal limits could approach the region, but currently they are not expected to provide wide precipitation due to lack of instability and moisture.
Temperatures are expected throughout the Ohio valley to remain colder than the average for much of the week.
While the medium-upril considers high temperatures in the 60s from mid-superiors, many areas will experience ups and downs below seasonal averages.
