AEP provided The Icon with the following weather information for July 26:
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.
Severe storms of this coverage and intensity typically cause moderate problems for AEP Ohio.
Friday: A severe weather threat will persist over southern APCo, however the degree of the threat will depend on how much instability remains across southwest Virginia.
