⚡ Haily's Briefing

Ohio has no active hail or wind alerts right now, and there are no notable local events to flag. The SPC discussions you provided focus severe risk well outside OH, with the main threats centered in the Upper Midwest and parts of the central Plains: hail could reach 1.5 to 2.5 inches in the northern setup, with wind gusts around 55 to 70 mph and even a tornado risk in that corridor, while another area mentions locally damaging winds and a separate risk for 2+ inch hail, damaging winds, and a couple of tornadoes late today and tonight.

Ranked by SPC verified storm reports (wind, hail, tornado) across all 50 states over the last 12 months. Severity-weighted index scores each report by hazard (tornado ×20, hail ×4, wind ×1) so a single derecho's flood of wind reports doesn't outweigh tornado outbreaks. Recalculated daily as of Sep 11, 2026.

Proudly AI-powered. Honestly sourced. IDOLCheck is built by HailyAI. Every storm event, magnitude, radar snapshot, and date on this page is deterministic — retrieved directly from official NOAA, National Weather Service (NWS), and Storm Prediction Center (SPC) storm records through our HailyDB engine and displayed exactly as reported. Quoted warning and report text is always attributed to its official source. Where the surrounding copy is not a direct quote, it was generated with AI assistance from that same verified storm data and reviewed and approved by humans before publication. AI organizes and presents the record — it never invents storm data.
