CLEVELAND — Tornado Watch has expired.
That means clouds should clear also. And temps soar. Gusty southwest winds building heat AND humidity into Ohio with high temps pushing into the upper 70s. That enough fuel to pump up that severe threat. Damaging storms use that heat to build and stay strong.

The threat for severe weather starts around 3pm west of Cleveland and slides east through 10pm.
