    It could be a stormy Saturday across northern Ohio.

    The National Weather Service says all of northern Ohio is at risk for severe storms tomorrow.

    "Be sure to have a reliable way to receive watches and warnings," the weather service says.

    The greatest risk for severe weather is Saturday afternoon and evening.

    There's a chance for everything from damaging winds, hail and even tornadoes and heavy rain.

    "Repeated rounds of heavy rainfall are expected with thunderstorms on Saturday and flash flooding is possible," the weather service says. "Urban and poor drainage areas will be most vulnerable to the potential for flash flooding."

    Things will dry out on Sunday with the risk of showers and storms returning just in time for the Fourth of July.
