Yesterday, Fran and I were proud to debut our new @OhioWICProgram reading spaces in Lisbon and Hamilton! These colorful, dedicated reading areas are being installed in WIC clinics across the state to inspire a lifelong love of books among children and to encourage families to enroll their kids under 5 in the @ImaginationOhio program.

Severe weather remains possible across the entire area this afternoon and evening. Conditions are looking just a little more favorable for severe storms for areas north of I-70 in Ohio, thus the risk is now enhanced for that area.
ALT Updated severe weather outlook. There is still uncertainty in when storms develop and how they evolve this afternoon and evening. But conditions are looking more favorable for damaging winds and large hail (possibly 2 inches or greater in diameter) north of I-70 in Ohio. Therefore, the outlook has been increased to an enhanced risk in that area (category 3 out of 5). There remains a slight risk (category 2 out of 5) for the remainder of the area. Expecting storms to move into west central Ohio, and the northern parts of the Miami and Whitewater Valleys between 3 and 6 pm. For the rest of the area, storms can be expected to move in between 6 and 9 pm.
