The National Weather Service expired the warning. However, pea-sized hail and gusty winds are still likely as thunderstorms continue to move east.
There is a possibility of strong, damaging winds and lightning strikes near Wellington and Lodi.
That escalated quickly! This air is very spring-like. Severe t-storm warning until 9am for Lorain and Medina Counties. Strong winds and occasional lightning strikes. Of course, heavy rain also. pic.twitter.com/nEWDx1ULyK
