As soon as one round of severe weather moves out of central Ohio, another round is on the way. A quick-moving, strong weather system will set its sights on central Ohio by Wednesday. Warm air is expected to once again surge into the region, with temps pushing into the mid-70s by Wednesday afternoon. This will be just one of the ingredients fueling the first round of strong to severe storms. These impacts will start Wednesday night and continue through Thursday and for these reasons, back-to-back 10TV Weather Impact Alert Days have been declared, one for the second half of Wednesday, and the other for all of Thursday. This will break down into two primary concerns: severe weather and flooding rain. As of now, the highest risk for severe storms comes through Wednesday evening and through the night, when all modes of severe weather are possible. This could include flooding, hail, wind and isolated tornadoes. The threat of severe storms will continue into Thursday as well, but this threat is a bit more uncertain. Regardless, the Storm Prediction Center also has many locations in central Ohio under a severe weather risk again for storms on Thursday. This threat looks to be a bit more likely south of I-70, but this is subject to change between now and then. Flooding will be a concern with storms on both days, as a large push of rainfall looks possible late Wednesday through the day on Thursday. Areas around central Ohio should be prepared for possible standing water in areas more prone to flooding. Use extra caution when driving, especially at night. In anticipation of the high rainfall amounts expected this week and weekend, a Flood Watch has been issued from late Wednesday and going through Sunday. Rainfall amounts of over 3-4" are possible during that stretch. The risk for damaging winds remains the highest with severe cells that develop late Wednesday/early Thursday. The timing remains for the threat of the strongest storms to be when most of us are sleeping just after midnight into the early morning hours. Make sure to have multiple ways to get warnings, and have phones fully charged before you go to sleep to make sure alerts can come through and wake you if you need to take action.
