THERE IS A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR NORTH CENTRAL AND

PENNSYLVANIA TO YOUNGSTOWN AND CANTON AND MANSFIELD.

AND AREAS THAT HAVE MULTIPLE THUNDERSTORMS COULD SEE PONDING OF WATER
IN LOW LYING AND POOR DRAINAGE AREAS.

THE FRONT WILL MOVE SOUTH OF THE AREA EARLY TONIGHT AND THE THREAT OF
SEVERE WEATHER WILL END.
