Local media reporting a funnel cloud about a mile from my house but I've not seen anything.

Mostly sunny and windy here. I hope that wasn't it. A little t-shower SW of LOU and further to the north a little more in IN. Not sure if there is a little more ahead of the front trying to get going or not. Best threat still remains to the North of us as expected.

All warnings have been cancelled per ILN as of this post.

...THE TORNADO WARNING FOR NORTHWESTERN MONTGOMERY AND SOUTHERN MIAMI
COUNTIES IS CANCELLED...

The storm which prompted the warning has weakened below severe
limits, and no longer appears capable of producing a tornado.
Therefore, the warning has been cancelled.

A Severe Thunderstorm Watch remains in effect until 900 PM EDT for
west central Ohio.

Please report previous tornadoes, wind damage or hail to the National
Weather Service by going to our website at weather.gov/iln and
submitting your report via social media.

Much of the severe threat has currently shifted to our Eastern counties. Mainly North and East of Dayton. CMH Metro still awaiting to see what happens there later. For the rest of us, IMO the threat is diminishing.
