LIVE BLOG: Northeast Ohio braces for possible severe thunderstorms

Heads up!

CLEVELAND — The storms that your 3News weather team have been warning you about are finally here, and we're keeping an eye on conditions.

A Severe Thunderstorm Warning has been issued for several counties in Northeast Ohio, including Erie, Ottawa, and Sandusky counties. This warning remained in effect until 4:30 p.m., but it may not be the last we see tonight.

Heavy rains began to hit around 8 p.m., delaying multiple Friday night high school football games across the area. However, at this time the National Weather Service has yet to issue any more warnings.

The NWS says that winds of up to 60 miles per hour and penny-sized hail could occur. Our 3News weather team is tracking the incoming storms and will keep you up to date on all the weather-related news you need. 

"It's popping! Watching storms fire up..sun is adding instability. @NWSSPC says a storm watch is 'possible' this afternoon/evening depending on how things develop. @JasonMikellTV and I are on it," 3News Chief Meteorologist Betsy Kling tweeted out at 2:20 p.m. 

This is a developing story. Check back with 3News for updates as we receive them throughout the evening and beyond.
