At 8:59 AM EDT, a line of strong thunderstorms was detected from Johnstown to North Folk Village, moving eastward at a speed of 40 mph. These storms bring the potential for wind gusts reaching 45 mph and intense rainfall. The radar has confirmed these conditions. The storms may cause tree limbs to fall, unsecured items to be tossed around, and reduced visibility, increasing the risk of hydroplaning. Affected areas include Columbus, Newark, and several other communities, as well as a stretch of I-70 in Ohio.
