Today's stormy weather is less than ideal for pups like Bubbles hoping to go for a walk today!
Bubbles is an adorable little Bichon Frise from Parma! Bubble's mom, Cheryl Olsen, said she likes to watch News 5 every morning.
Hopefully, Bubbles kept an eye on today's forecast, which is essentially a page from an early-summer weather playbook, not March 7.
Temperatures started in the 60s this morning, with near-record warmth expected by noon. Then, all eyes turn to severe storms developing over the area.
The Storm Prediction Center has introduced an elevated threat for a tornado or two from I-71 points east. While officially a "five-to-10% chance," that basically means an isolated tornado threat.
Otherwise, most areas, especially east of I-71, will see drenching downpours and 40+ mph gusts. Some will see 60 mph gusts that can lead to power outages and downed trees.
