WILMINGTON, Ohio — Meteorologists at the National Weather Service (NWS) are cautioning the public that the threat of severe weather persists, with showers and embedded thunderstorms expected tonight. According to NWS forecasts, an isolated strong to severe storm could occur this evening into the early hours of Friday, with strong to damaging winds posing the primary threat.
This latest weather alert comes in the wake of recent severe weather events. On Wednesday, central Ohio experienced a barrage of storms, resulting in large hail, torrential rain, and reports of a possible tornado touchdown in Portage County.
In light of these ongoing weather challenges, residents are urged to stay vigilant and ensure they have multiple means of receiving weather alerts. The NWS emphasizes the importance of not relying solely on outdoor warning sirens for weather updates.
