Storms are expected to move toward the Cincinnati area after 9 p.m. and then the Dayton region around 11 p.m. The NWS expects a weakening trend as storms move northeast.
The Miami Valley region has a marginal chance for severe weather, meaning isolated and strong to severe storms are possible, but are generally short-lived.
