DOPPLER 10 WEATHER ALERT---- Prepare now for two rounds of severe storms today with tornadoes possible this afternoon after 3PM north of Columbus and a significant damaging wind event tonight after 2AM.
I will closely monitor areas north of I-70 for thunderstorm development this afternoon. High temperatures approaching 90 combined with strong winds aloft may produce tornadoes. Be prepared to move to shelter if a tornado warning is issued in your area.
More importantly.... a significant wind event (possibly a derecho) may occur overnight. Wind gusts of 70 mph will be possible. I would prepare now that you may loose power. Also... while a tornado warning may not be issued tonight, I strongly recommend you be in the basement if storms of this intensity form.
We will have to see how this develops today...but no harm is done by preparing. Our Doppler 10 Weather Team will be working 24/7 to keep you safe!
Please post this to you Facebook wall and share with your friends so everyone is ready for what could be a major weather event here in Ohio.
If you dont see me.. you know where I will be..hid in some underground cover somewhere. lol.
