Friday's Severe Weather Recap

Friday marked the first time Cleveland, Akron and Canton (The NE Ohio metro area) was under a TORNADO WATCH in roughly 4 years.  The setup for severe weather was tremendous yet no TORNADOES.

The Storm Prediction Center put northern Ohio under a MODERATE RISK early in the morning.  Northern Ohio is rarely under a MODERATE RISK--maybe once every two years--so the experts believed that this could have been deadly.


The Tornado Watch was issued at 3:50PM then the extension through 11PM
