A wild Wednesday is in store for us. We’ll get everything from heavy rains, that could cause some localized flooding. We’ll also see the warmest temperatures of the year and Winter season with highs near 60! Add to that strong winds that will blow through tonight. Here’s the outlook from the NWS:
…HIGH WIND WARNING IN EFFECT FROM 7 PM THIS EVENING TO 10 AM
EST THURSDAY…
STRONG WINDS WILL DEVELOP LATE THIS AFTERNOON AS A COLD FRONT
APPROACHES THE REGION. THE COLD FRONT WILL SWEEP THROUGH OHIO THIS EVENING
AND INTO PENNSYLVANIA EARLY THURSDAY MORNING. SUSTAINED WINDS
BETWEEN 30 AND 40 MPH WITH OCCASIONAL GUSTS TO 60 MPH OR GREATER
WILL BE POSSIBLE THROUGH EARLY THURSDAY MORNING ACROSS THE ENTIRE
AREA. WINDS WILL LIKELY TAPER OFF ACROSS NORTHWEST OHIO AROUND
DAYBREAK THURSDAY BUT WILL LIKELY LINGER UNTIL MID MORNING ACROSS
EASTERN OHIO AND NORTHWEST PENNSYLVANIA.
Gusts 60 MPH or higher could easily bring trees down and cause folks to lose power.
We’ll be getting a rain break through the latter part of the morning before the winds kick up later this afternoon.
We are also under a Slight Risk for Severe Thunderstorms.
All of this is adding to a Wild Weather Wednesday! I’m Meteorologist Jason Nicholas.
