DAYTON — A cold front is held up over the Great Lakes. The question is whether the front will sag far enough south to cause the threat of severe weather in the Miami Valley. Depending on how far south the front goes, most of the Valley will remain dry. There appears to be minimal threat south of I-70.
Late afternoon and evening hours will be the best chance for stronger to severe storms, ranging from 2 PM to 7 PM.
