The timing of concern is between 3 p.m. and 7 p.m., when the greatest threat of severe storms is possible. Storms will have the potential to bring damaging wind, large hail and even a few tornadoes.

“The Storm Prediction Center has the Miami Valley under an “Enhanced” risk for severe storms which isn’t something we get very often,” Vrydaghs said. “Please stay weather aware as the storms develop.”

FRIDAY: This will be a nice end to the week with partly cloudy skies and highs in the lower 80s.
