A bit of a complex forecast arrives for Tuesday and Wednesday as the chance of multiple rounds of showers and storms, some of which could turn severe, is in the forecast.

There is not a lot of confidence in either the timeline or details of what we can expect, according to Ritz.

As for today, showers and storms will arrive late this morning and early this afternoon. It will start south of Interstate 70 and move north.

Nothing severe is expected, Ritz says.

Areas of low pressure interacting with a warm front and a cold front are going to bring some chances for organized thunderstorm development.

However, when we look at challenges like morning cloud cover, instability, and placement of the frontal boundaries, we won’t gain higher confidence in what to expect until we get closer.

Nevertheless, the Storm Prediction Center (SPC) has highlighted Tuesday as a Level 2 (Slight) Risk of severe storms for the Miami Valley.

There is also a risk for Wednesday, however, that will depend on how Tuesday plays out, Ritz states.

Damaging winds, large hail, and heavy rain are the main threats. While a tornado can never be ruled out, that chance now is low.

Tuesday’s timing at this point looks to arrive after 1 p.m. and linger throughout the evening with several rounds of storms.

News Center 7 will continue to update this story.
