Brad Gilbert, Wood County EMA director has issued the following advisory:
A storm system moving through the Great Lakes this weekend will bring unsettled weather to the area both days. Showers and thunderstorms will be likely early Saturday morning with some clearing by late morning and into the afternoon hours. Scattered thunderstorms will be on the increase again in the late afternoon and evening on Saturday. Some of the thunderstorms could be strong to even isolated severe. A repeat of this scenario is likely on Sunday with rain early in the morning and a little better chance of thunderstorms in the late afternoon and evening. More widespread severe weather will be likely across lower Michigan all the way to the Ohio/Michigan line on Sunday. There will be periods of sunshine with very warm and humid conditions throughout the weekend as well.
The Storm Prediction Center has most of NW Ohio in the “Marginal” risk category for severe weather on both days. A higher risk category of “Slight” will be in place across southern lower Michigan down to the Ohio/Michigan line, so stronger weather is expected to our immediate north. Please monitor weather conditions this weekend especially if you have outside activities.
