A couple different chances for strong to severe storms are in store for the Ohio Valley this week as we remain in an active weather pattern. The first chance will arrive today as a cold front moves through the area (see the graphic below for details). Storms today will be capable of producing damaging winds and hail. In addition to the severe weather threat, hot and humid conditions could result in afternoon heat index values dangerous to sensitive groups.

Another chance for strong to severe storms will arrive late Thurs night and continue into Friday and Friday evening as another cold front pushes through the Ohio Valley. The Storm Prediction Center has already placed southern Indiana and northern Kentucky in a Slight Risk for severe storms late Thurs night into Friday morning. The main threats with these storms will likely be strong winds and heavy rainfall.
