Northwestern Ohio will be in an active severe weather pattern late today through the weekend, according to AEP.

The combination of unstable air, a stalled front, and several upper-level disturbances moving along the front will result in the severe storms. Severe thunderstorms are expected to develop this afternoon over Illinois. These storms may develop into a complex of severe storms - or even a squall line with widespread damaging winds - as they track across Indiana & Ohio this evening into tonight.

On Saturday...more strong or severe thunderstorms are a possibility over
the same region.
