Small Tornado Threat for Ohio Valley
















New tornado watch has been issued for portions of Illinois as a warm front is starting to retreat north. Conditions are becoming moderately unstable under a moistening atmosphere to produce t'storms and some supercells. Right now the biggest risk of tornadoes is across Illinois and points west but the threat is there east to around Cincy along the warm front. Large hail up to 2.5 inches and damaging winds up to 65mph are the most likely threats. T'storms will continue to develop from central Illinois to southwest Ohio through the rest of the afternoon. The general line of storms will drift northeast but individual stronger storms will move east/southeast at around 35 mph.
