Athens, OH – Southeast Ohio is preparing for potentially severe weather as a cold front moves into the region late Sunday afternoon. Residents should prepare for strong thunderstorms that could bring damaging winds, hail, and an elevated risk of tornadoes.

According to the US National Weather Service, the storms are expected to begin late Sunday afternoon, continuing into the evening. The main threats include large hail, lightning, and gusty winds, with some areas facing a slight chance of tornadoes. The region southeast of the Ohio River will likely experience the strongest storms.

After the cold front passes, cooler and drier conditions will settle in by Monday, with seasonably cooler temperatures expected throughout the week. Overnight temperatures may dip low enough to create frost risks in mountain valleys and typical cold spots, especially during the early work week.

Residents are encouraged to secure outdoor items, prepare for potential power outages, and stay updated on the latest weather alerts. With the risk of severe weather and tornadoes, it is critical to have a plan and a way to receive warnings throughout the storm.
