Storms bring chance for hail overnight, damaging winds Wednesday

By Wednesday morning, scattered thunderstorms and clusters of rain will move in from the west. Depending on cloud coverage, enough instability could form to support severe thunderstorms along Interstate 71, the NWS said.

Strong winds are possible late Wednesday morning and in the afternoon, with gusts of up to 35 to 40 mph.

Damaging winds are the main threat with storms Wednesday, but isolated hail and tornadoes cannot be ruled out.

Heavy rain during storms Tuesday night and Wednesday could cause flooding, but widespread flood alerts are unlikely, according to the NWS.

Highs will be in the mid- to low 70s today and Wednesday, but a cold front will move through the region Wednesday afternoon, resulting in milder conditions for the rest of the week.

Mostly sunny skies will return Thursday with daytime highs in the mid-40s.
