**UPDATE- COMMUNICATIONS HAS BEEN RESTORED- Radar data is now available again**
ALERT: DOPPLER RADAR DATA OUTAGE-
Radar data is not currently being transmitted by the National Weather Service in Wilmington, OH due to a communication failure. There are other systems being impacted as well. This impacts data from Wilmington, and terminal doppler radar data from Dayton, Cincinnati and Columbus. If you have a radar app installed on your phone, it will NOT DISPLAY current radar data.
HOWEVER- NWS Meteorologists DO have access to the radar information internally and are issuing storm warnings as necessary with coordination of surrounding offices. Technicians are currently investigating the issue and hope to get communications back online as quickly as possible. (Updated at 6:55pm Saturday)

Storms are back in the forecast by Saturday afternoon and there is a SLIGHT RISK that some of these storms could be severe. Damaging wind gusts look to be the primary threat from these storms at this time.

Y'ALL READY FOR THIS?
Little if ANY rain in the forecast for Ohio for a least a week. While I think many in Ohio are okay with this - including our farmers that are still trying to work fields - we wouldn't want to get stuck in this pattern long term...
For now, enjoy the beautiful weather ahead! We deserve it, don't ya think?
