DAYTON — A stalled boundary is sitting near the Miami Valley today.

Strong to severe storms are possible later this evening along the boundary as temperatures climb into the middle 70s.

Thanks to a southwest wind at 10 to 20 MPH and gusts near 30 MPH pulling in warm and moist air, all the ingredients are there for redevelopment.

The focus area will be along US 36 and north after 6 PM and lingering until roughly 10 PM this evening.

As the line of storms develops and pushes south into the northern parts of the Valley, the line will likely fall apart.

Winds around 60 MPH and small hail are the biggest concerns. However, the threats are low.

The Storm Prediction Center (SPC) has the northern part of the Valley under a level 1 of 5, marginal risk for severe storms.

This simply means a storm or two had the potential to become severe.
