Severe storms capable of producing 45 mph wind gusts could hit the Mason area Wednesday and Thursday, followed by the season's first possible frost Sunday morning.

Fox19 declared Wednesday, Oct. 14, Thursday, Oct. 15, and Friday, Oct. 16, First Alert Weather Days for the greater Cincinnati area, including Warren County. The station's weather team identified damaging winds as the primary threat, with heavy rain and lightning expected alongside any storms.

The National Weather Service office in Wilmington, which covers Warren County, narrowed the severe weather window to Wednesday afternoon into the early evening hours. Heavy rain is forecast to continue Wednesday night into Thursday morning.

Rain is also expected to affect Friday afternoon's commute, with additional storms possible, Fox19 reported.

If frost develops Sunday morning, Oct. 18, it would mark the first frost of the fall season for the Tri-State area.
