‼️ 🚨
** SEVERE WEATHER RISK UPDATE **
Here is a quick update regarding the severe weather risk this afternoon and evening. After analyzing the current trends and current storm complexes, I decided to make some changes to where there could be a better risk of damaging storms.
'BEST' TIMING: 3pm-11pm (earlier the farther west you are located)
ZONE 3 HATCHED (black line overlays)- Watching for a severe squall line to move through this region between 4-8pm. Wind gusts within this line of storms have been over 65mph in portions of Indiana and Ohio, and further strengthening is expected. Expect the risk for wind gusts of 65-75+ mph as this line moves through this evening. With these strong wind gust,s tree damage and power outages will be expected. A spin-up tornado cannot be ruled out but the greatest risk will be damaging wind gusts.
ZONE 3 NON-HATCHED - Watching for *NUMEROUS* strong to severe thunderstorms. Supercells and high wind bowing segments will be possible. Within these storms, there may be the risk for damaging wind gusts, large hail (up to quarter-sized in the most severe cells,) and low risk of a tornado.
ZONE 2 - Watching for *SCATTERED* strong to severe thunderstorms. Supercells and high wind bowing segments will be possible. These storms may produce damaging wind gusts, hail, and a very low risk of a tornado. Non-severe thunderstorms may still produce gusty winds, lightning, and heavy rainfall.
ZONE 1- Watching for *ISOLATED* strong to severe thunderstorms. These storms may produce damaging wind gusts. Non-severe thunderstorms may still produce gusty winds, lightning, and heavy rainfall.
Stay tuned for weather updates and remain weather aware this evening!
