OHIO – A round of potentially strong to severe thunderstorms is expected to move into Ohio late tonight, with the greatest risk focused on the western part of the state.
Conditions will remain dry through most of the day Monday, but isolated showers and storms are expected to develop across western Ohio during the evening hours. The primary line of storms is forecast to arrive after 10 p.m., sweeping eastward overnight before exiting eastern Ohio by around 3 a.m.
