PLANNING THE NEXT 24 HOURS: After a break in thunderstorm activity during the morning, additional thunderstorms, some severe, are expected to develop later this afternoon, lasting into the evening. These storms pose a high wind and large hail threat, but an isolated tornado or two cannot be ruled out.

EXTENDED FORECAST: ALERT DAY conditions are expected again later this afternoon and evening, lasting through Sunday. The First Warn Weather Team is tracking periods of thunderstorms with heavy rain, along with the threat for strong storms during this period. The best chance for strong storms will be this evening, especially if clouds can clear some to allow for the atmosphere to get warm and humid enough. Large hail, strong winds, isolated tornadoes and heavy rain are possible with the storms. Right now, more persistent showers and storms on Sunday may keep the heating down just enough to reduce severe storm chances, yet we will be keeping our eye on any potential for a break for heat to build back up, which would increase severe thunderstorm chances. Next week also looks active, with on-and-off chances of thunderstorms Tuesday through Thursday.

Severe weather takes aim at parts of the Ohio Valley after battering the South

Powerful storms are rumbling over parts of the southeastern U.S. as more severe weather takes aim at parts of the Ohio Valley. The storm system has already been blamed for at least one death in Mississippi and flooded streets in the New Orleans area. Damage has been reported from Texas to the Florida Panhandle. More than 100,000 customers lack power. Now forecasters say parts of Ohio, Kentucky and West Virginia will be near the bull's-eye of a new area of concern Thursday. The Storm Prediction Center says those areas could see some tornadoes, damaging winds and large hail.
