***THIS POST CONTAINS OUTDATED INFORMATION***

There is a marginal risk for strong to severe storms this afternoon into the late evening (4pm-1am ET) along and west of I 69. Confidence is low as best ingredients come together towards/after sunset, which could limit severe intensity. There is a marginal to slight risk (NW OH) for severe storms Sat, with the best potential in the afternoon and evening. Confidence is medium with more favorable ingredients and timing than Friday, but severe intensity could be limited by AM rain/storms. Damaging winds and large hail are the primary threats for both today/Sat.
