Storm Center 7’s team of meteorologists and weather specialists will break down the latest timing and track LIVE on News Center 7 at 11:00.

Tonight’s storms will be moving quickly meaning they will not last long in any one location, according to Storm Center 7 Weather Specialist Nick Dunn.

Multiple ways to receive alerts at night while most are asleep is important because you will want something to wake you up if threatening weather approaches you.

Limited instability and strong wind shear aloft promote damaging winds as the primary hazard.

However, a brief tornado or two is possible anywhere in the Miami Valley, with the best chances of that being west of I-75 in the Level 2 (Slight) Risk area.
