COLUMBUS, Ohio — A strong storm system is moving through central Ohio Sunday evening.
Some of the strongest storms could produce damaging winds, hail — severe criteria is at least 1″ in diameter, or the size of a quarter — the possibility for spin-up tornadoes and a minor risk for flooding.
The most likely danger will be strong damaging winds, so make sure your yard and home are prepared.
The risk of spin-up tornadoes remains an increased concern, which can happen sometimes with little to no warning. So make sure your phone is fully charged so you have ways to get warnings or have a NOAA weather radio as a backup.
You can watch the live radar on 10TV+ or the WBNS-10TV YouTube channel.
Because these storms will fire up after dark, it’s even more important to make sure you have a way to stay connected and informed, especially while you are sleeping. The current timeline has storms arriving and developing between 6 to 8 p.m. in our western counties, around 7 to 10 p.m. in the Columbus region and between 8 to 10 p.m. for our eastern counties. Once the main line of severe storms moves through, the threat should significantly diminish and switch over to rain lingering into Monday morning.
As these bowing segments push out, the risk for spin-up tornadoes near the edges of the bowing segments will be possible.
The 10 Weather Impact team will continue to monitor this system closely and update the forecast as details become clearer!
