South-Central Ohio – Severe weather is expected to impact south-central Ohio and northeast Kentucky today, with the most significant threats being damaging winds and localized flooding. Residents in the affected areas should remain vigilant, as the storms are anticipated to intensify through 6 PM.
According to the National Weather Service in Wilmington, OH, these storms could produce wind gusts strong enough to cause property damage and hazardous driving conditions. Additionally, low-lying areas are at risk for flash flooding due to the heavy rainfall.
