Expansion of the severe storm potential now covers WSW Ohio & SE Indiana, which is based on the latest track of the surface low. Severe storm potential is conditional as instability will be very limited. Remember, the strongest winds are likely to occur beyond the severe threat. pic.twitter.com/GIfdbnjJQU
