Region at slight risk for severe storms into Saturday morning

It’s Friday night into Saturday morning that a cold front will bring the more likely chance for strong to severe storms. The Storm Prediction Center has increased the risk in the Southwestern Ohio and Northwestern Kentucky region for severe storms into a “slight risk” for about half of the viewing area. That’s the yellow area on the map below.

This means that damaging winds continue to be our top threat but isolated tornadoes cannot be ruled out either. The timing on this event will continue to adjust slightly but the focus currently starts around 2 a.m. and continues through 8 a.m. Saturday.
