Severe weather is still on the move and Thursday's storms will take over across parts of Ohio, West Virginia, western Pennsylvania, and Kentucky. There is also a slight risk across Central and North Florida through southern Georgia.

The same complex low-pressure system and frontal boundaries are now pushing east. The center of the low will gain a bit more strength as it moves over the southern Great Lakes toward the Northeast. The cold front it drags will move over Florida and provide a one-two punch for the Sunshine State. Expect another front to finalize the shift in winds and cooler temperatures just in time to close the week and into the weekend. But first, storms are expected.

The Upper Ohio River Valley, where the center of the storm is moving through, will have a few organized severe storms that could develop tornadoes, some of which could be strong late morning through the afternoon. Some storms could also produce damaging winds and hail. Another threat will be heavy rains that could lead to flooding across the Appalachians. Flood risks extend from Pennsylvania through eastern Ohio and the mountains of Virginia through North Carolina.

Severe storms include the chance of a few strong tornadoes, especially over the Upper Ohio Valley.

The storms in Florida will also continue through the morning hours across northern Florida and Central Florida, but last through the afternoon across the Central portion of the state. Cities like Tampa and Orlando and surroundings could experience wind gusts of at least 75 mph and we cannot rule out an isolated tornado from forming.

Please make sure to pay attention to the storms and have at least three ways of receiving weather alerts. Excessive rain will be affecting much of the northern portion of Florida. The front is expected to lose its punch and get moving, so the threat of severe weather diminishes as it moves over the southern half of the state.

You may track the storms in our WeatherRadar. Our team of meteorologists is closely monitoring this storm and will continue to bring you updates on our app and across our social media platforms.
