COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) -- A long line of strong storms moved into central Ohio from the southwest, with damaging winds and heavy downpours. A lull developed in the evening in the wake of a disturbance lifting northward with a warm front.
A second round of strong storms is moving in late tonight, with low pressure tracking across the Great Lakes. The final complex of storms will be heaviest near and south of I-70.
The greatest risk of severe weather late Sunday night will be in southern Indiana, southwestern Ohio and Kentucky, though pockets of heavy rain and some wind will accompany any clusters of storms moving across central Ohio.
The rain will taper off to a few showers on Monday. Winds will increase from the west, gusting between 15 and 25 mph. Temperatures will stay in the 70s on Memorial Day, with lingering clouds. Some periods of sun will provide opportunities for outdoor activities throughout the day.
The week will be noticeably cooler, as upper-level low pressure hangs around, along with a few scattered showers Tuesday and Wednesday. Highs will only reach the low 70s. Sunshine will return later in the week.
