SEVERE STORMS POSSIBLE THURSDAY IN OHIO-

We will likely be tracking several clusters of storms moving northwest to southeast across Ohio on Thursday. The threat will likely begin in northern Ohio early Thursday morning with storms developing southward through the afternoon and evening hours. It is somewhat unclear how numerous storms will be through the afternoon and evening.

However, with plenty of instability or “storm fuel” to work with, any storms that do develop could quickly become severe. Storms will likely be a bit more likely in the Level 2 (out of 5) risk area.

The main threat from storms will be from damaging wind gusts and hail. Also, frequent lightning is likely. While to tornado threat does appear quite low, an isolated spin up cannot be ruled out.
