DAYTON, OH — So far, this week has been a beautiful weather week with lots of sunshine and comfortable temperatures. It looks like that changes heading into the weekend.
Heat and humidity start to build in as high pressure moves eastward. Add a cold front into the mix, and we have the recipe for scattered thunderstorms.

Saturday, expect scattered afternoon thunderstorms to develop ahead of the cold front. A few of the storms may become strong or even severe.
If we see severe weather, damaging winds will be the main hazard. There will be a small threat for large hail. Tornadoes are not expected.
