Forecasters say the storms are expected to develop Sunday afternoon and continue into Sunday night, with the strongest impacts felt across the western lowlands and Mid-Ohio Valley communities.
According to the National Weather Service, the primary hazards will be damaging wind gusts and small hail. While scattered showers and storms are already moving through the mountain regions Saturday evening, these are expected to weaken overnight before the new system arrives.
