The storms moving through metro Columbus have weakened below severe limits, so a warning will not be issued to the east after the current warning expires at 12:15 PM ET. We're watching two areas of VERY weak rotation circled here near Pine Mountain Valley and Upatoi; neither are close to being suspected of producing anything tornadic, but they may enhance the winds locally and create some 30-40 mph gusts. Still be ready to head indoors as these storms approach despite no severe weather warnings being issued. -Dana
