Key Points – Thursday, August 3, 2017:
Synopsis: Good Thursday morning! Continued scattered storm threat today across the forecast area, some certainly have the potential to be strong to severe (with localized heavy rain and large hail). As the cold front moves east late tonight we will see a more organized storm threat moving east across Indiana and Ohio into Friday (need to watch for a reintensification of these storms across central Ohio tomorrow too for strong storms). Behind this front much cooler air settles in Friday, windy as well with gusts topping 35mph in some spots. Watching for another storm chance Sunday into Monday across the area…more widespread rainfall as well. If you have any questions let us know, have a blessed weekend!
