DAYTON, OH — We’ve gone from one extreme to the other across the Miami Valley. After a long, cold, and snowy winter, we’re now looking at very warm temperatures and numerous chances for rain.
Rain is here now and will be with us on and off through Saturday.

The Tuesday evening through Wednesday afternoon timeframe looks particularly wet with up to 3 inches of rain possible south of I-70. This is also where the National Weather Service has issued a flood watch.
If you come across a flooded roadway, turn around, don’t drown. If you have a basement that is prone to flooding when it rains a lot, be sure to check your sump pump to make sure it is working.
