COLUMBUS (WCMH) — Central Ohio could be in for another round of severe storms Wednesday.
A potent storm system will move east from the Mississippi Valley during the day Wednesday. Ahead of it, temperatures will soar close to 70 degrees in the afternoon under a mostly cloudy sky. The warmer temperatures will work with the dynamics of this weather system to produce strong to severe storms as it moves through the region. The National Weather Service’s Storm Prediction Center has placed all of central and southern Ohio in the Slight to Enhanced risk categories for severe storms.
Parts of the South will be dealing with severe storms, too, with a somewhat higher threat of tornadoes for portions of Georgia, Alabama and the Carolinas.MORE: Check live VIPIR Radar
