CLEVELAND — Following severe damaging storms overnight across the News 5 viewing area, the National Weather Service has issued a Severe Thunderstorm Watch for multiple counties.

A Severe Thunderstorm Warning has been issued for Tuscarawas County until 4 p.m.
The following counties are under the weather alert until 8 p.m.
- Ashtabula
- Portage
- Stark
- Trumbull
While the watch is in effect until this evening, these storms should clear our viewing area before 3 pm, but the threat will continue into Pennsylvania for longer.
UPDATE: While there is a watch and a few storms in our southern and eastern communities, I think most of these storms will clear NEO before they become too strong, which is good news after yesterday's severe weather! Best chance looks to be across Carroll and Tuscarawas Counties. pic.twitter.com/MMrOMlHSBE

We will be watching for damaging winds and large hail. Heavy rain and lightning are common with any storm. West of I-77 should stay dry for the majority of the afternoon.
A cold front will produce a line of severe storms to the west of Ohio. This line will weaken as it pushes toward Northeast Ohio by tonight, but we will keep you posted on any additional concerns about severe weather overnight and early Friday.
Raging storms rolled through Northeast Ohio late Wednesday night and early Thursday morning, knocking down trees and power lines.
