Forecast
Clouds and weakening showers moving in from the west could weaken the severe weather threat for the day as the afternoon approaches.
As the atmosphere destabilizes this afternoon, a few isolated strong or severe storms could redevelop east of Interstate 71 on the wind boundary laid down by those dying showers and clouds.
All modes of severe weather are on the table today, including a few damaging winds to 70 mph, large hail, and even an isolated tornado.
