The atmosphere will become hot and extremely unstable ahead of an approaching cold front today. The result will be severe thunderstorms over much of the Upper Ohio Valley. Scattered severe thunderstorms will erupt early this afternoon across Indiana and northwest Ohio.
Severe storms will become more numerous as they spread southeast across the heart of AEP Ohio late this afternoon. Expect damaging wind gusts to 65 mph over Ohio.

Did you like the July 12 Music on Main party? Good, because next summer there may be more parties downtown. The Buy-Local Committee, meeting July 25, reviewed their first attempt at a downtown promotion and are in the discussion stages of doing more next summer.
Although no plans are set, Music on Main might appear once a month in June, July and August.
The ad hoc committee has several ideas in the thinking stage. For example, how about an Ada garden tour next summer? Or, a downtown cash mob? These are two ideas being explored by the committee.
