Cleveland, OH – A line of severe thunderstorms will sweep across northern Ohio starting Sunday evening, bringing a threat of damaging winds, large hail, and the potential for isolated tornadoes.
According to the U.S. National Weather Service in Cleveland, storms will begin moving in from the west around 6 p.m. Sunday and continue through 4 a.m. Monday. The primary hazard will be strong, damaging wind gusts, with some areas also at risk of large hail and brief tornado spin-ups.
The threat will extend across much of northern Ohio, affecting cities such as Toledo, Akron, and Cleveland. Motorists and residents are urged to remain weather-aware, especially during overnight hours when visibility is reduced and alerts may go unnoticed.
Local emergency officials advise securing outdoor items and reviewing shelter plans ahead of the storms. Power outages are possible due to wind damage and falling tree limbs.
This weather event marks one of the more aggressive early spring storm systems to impact Ohio this year. Historically, late March and early April are peak periods for strong storm development in the region.
