NCEI Storm Data entries that began inside the alert's area while it was in force. Before 2003 the local storm report archive is thin, so this is the record of what happened rather than what was phoned in. Storm Data before 1996 records only tornadoes, thunderstorm wind and hail.

SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CINCINNATI OH
714 PM EDT THU JUL 5 1990

THUNDERSTORMS WITH VERY HEAVY RAIN CONTINUE IN WEST CENTRAL OHIO.

A BAND OF STORMS WITH HEAVY RAIN WERE INDICATED BY THE RADAR
AT 705 PM ALONG THE NORTHERN EDGE OF BUTLER AND WARREN COUNTIES
OF SOUTHWEST OHIO. THE STORMS IN THE AREA WERE MOVING TO THE EAST 35 MPH.

THIS AREA OF STORMS WILL DRIFT TO THE SOUTH OVER THE NORTHERN HALF OF

HEAVY RAIN...GUSTY WINDS AND SMALL HAIL ARE LIKELY WITH THESE STORMS.

SINCE THE AREA OF STORMS ARE FROM WEST TO EAST AND THE STORMS WITHIN THE

HEAVY RAIN FALL AMOUNTS IN SOME AREA.  THIS MAY CAUSE PONDING OF WATER
IN LOW ARES.
