An incoming cold front also will bring cooler, drier air behind the wave of showers and thunderstorms.
In a Hazardous Weather Outlook issued by the NWS on this morning, isolated storms could produce strong winds and large hail.
“Strong to severe storms will be possible late this afternoon into the evening hours associated with a vigorous cold front. Damaging winds and large hail are the primary threats,” the outlook said. “Stay weather aware today!”
Ongoing thunderstorms are capable of producing small hail and locally gusty winds. Severe storms become more likely during the late afternoon and early evening. Have several ways to receive warnings! Severe threat is expected to decrease a couple hours after dark. #ohwx #inwx pic.twitter.com/35NZ0j19s6
