Strong, severe storms with damaging winds possible this evening; Timing, impacts

DAYTON — A band of showers and thunderstorms are expected to race through the area over the next few hours.

Storm Center 7 Weather Specialist Nick Dunn will continue to track this system and will have the latest during News Center 7 at 11.

TIMING:

Showers and thunderstorms will move through the area between 5-8 p.m.

Thanks to strong winds near the surface, a brief tornado is possible but we are not expecting a repeat of a couple of weeks ago.

>> Very windy, rain with some strong to severe storms possible today; Drier weather expected midweek

IMPACTS:

Winds are the biggest threat with gusts up to 60 mph possible.

Most of the Miami Valley is under a Level 1 marginal risk for severe weather, while northwest portions are under a Level 2 slight risk.

It is still recommended you have multiple ways to receive warnings and stay weather-aware.
