Watching the radar this afternoon, it continues to show the scope of the severe weather outbreak ongoing across the Great Lakes and Ohio River Valleys. Numerous tornado and severe thunderstorm warnings are in effect from Kentucky across Indiana and into Michigan. We are now beginning to see the severe weather push into western portions of Ohio.
SPC maintains a high risk for severe weather across the region. Severe storms will continue through the overnight hours even though daytime heating will be lost. The dynamics with this system will support the convection through the overnight hours as it pushes towards the Atlantic coast.
Tornadoes, large hail, and damaging winds have occurred and will occur through the overnight hours. Locations across Illinois and Indiana have been devastated by this ongoing severe weather outbreak. A steady stream of damage photos are pouring in and you can see them at the @spann twitter handle.
