A significant cold front is expected to move through Northeast Ohio late Thursday into Thursday night, bringing potential for severe weather, including damaging winds, large hail, and an isolated tornado. The National Weather Service has placed much of Northeast Ohio under a Level 2 of 5 “slight risk” for severe storms, with most of the state likely to remain dry throughout the day. However, the greater concern comes late Thursday afternoon through Thursday night when a strengthening line of thunderstorms are expected to develop in northern Ohio ahead of the cold front. Forecasters warn of potential flooding issues due to heavy rainfall, which could reach around 1 to 2 inches in some spots, potentially leading to isolated flooding issues. The cold front will move through, with temperatures expected to plummet quickly Thursday night and Friday.
