The theme of this week has been dangerous levels of heat. With an extreme heat warning coming to an end, the chances for isolated storms have increased for Friday night and into the Fourth of July weekend.
A Severe Thunderstorm Warning has been issued for Erie County by the National Weather Service until 7:30 p.m.
Power of 5 Meteorologist Katie McGraw is live tracking storms as they move through Northeast Ohio.
The high temperatures are dangerous, so make sure you’re taking breaks, staying cool, and finding ways to keep our loved ones cool.
The increase in storm chances will decrease our temperatures by next week. It will still be warm and summery, but highs in the low to mid 80s are expected.
