…SUMMARY…
Scattered severe storms posing a risk for strong tornadoes and large hail are expected in a corridor across eastern Illinois through Lower Michigan Wednesday, with organizing clusters or lines of storms accompanied by potentially damaging wind gusts, and a few tornadoes across the Ohio Valley vicinity.
Potent low pressure and a cold front will provide the focus for severe thunderstorms on Wednesday. Best window for severe storms will be Wednesday afternoon and evening. Stay weather aware!
In addition to the potential for severe storms Wednesday, breezy to windy conditions are expected, with gusts near, or in excess of, 40 MPH likely at times. This is wind that is *not* associated with any storm activity.
