Central Ohio Weather and Radar
COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) -- An unseasonably warm and humid air mass will settle in over Ohio through Friday night, providing fuel for a couple of rounds of strong to severe thunderstorms, before a cold front brings in cooler and drier weather in time for the weekend.
The afternoon and evening will be quiet in central Ohio due to a strong "cap" in the atmosphere, which is a layer of warm, dry air from the southwest that keeps updrafts in check. If the cap holds overnight, a weakening line of showers and storms will move through parts of central Ohio between 2 and 6 a.m.
The Storm Prediction Center has a Slight risk (Level 2 out of 5) for damaging winds, hail, and an isolated tornado focused across the northern part of Ohio, with a higher threat in northern Indiana and Lower Michigan to near Toledo and Lima.
Friday looks somewhat similar to Thursday initially, with daytime heating driving temperatures up to the mid-80s, coupled with plenty of humidity, to create considerable instability.
A disturbance arriving from the west Friday evening will trigger a cluster of strong to severe storms, with the potential for damaging winds, hail and a few tornadoes, reaching western Ohio around sunset, where there is a Level 3 out of 5 risk.
Individual storms are likely to congeal into a storm complex that could contain a few supercells, or rotating storms, capable of producing large hail and a few tornadoes.
Strong storms will likely reach central Ohio a few hours later, diminishing east of I-71 after midnight.
