DAYTON — A cold front is held up over the Great Lakes. The question is if the front will sag far enough south to cause the threat of severe weather in the Maimi Valley. Depending on how far south the front goes, most of the Valley will remain dry. There looks to be a minimal threat south of I70.
Late afternoon and evening hours will be the best chance for stronger to severe storms, ranging from 2 PM to 7 PM.

Damaging winds over 60 MPH and large hail an inch in diameter are the main threats, but the threats remain low. Remain weather aware and make sure you have multiple ways to be alerted if severe weather occurs.
