A strong cold front will push across the Ohio Valley on Sunday and fire a line of strong thunderstorms.
A warm, humid air mass in place will allow thunderstorms to become strong, with the main threat being strong wind gusts and heavy rainfall.

"A few storms will produce winds strong enough to bring down trees and power lines," according to AccuWeather Meteorologist Michael Doll.
The combination of strong winds and torrential downpours could lead to localized power outages.
A line of showers and thunderstorms are expected to develop from central Michigan to central Indiana during the afternoon hours and move eastward into the early evening.

As the cold front moves through on Sunday night, a much different air mass will build in to begin the workweek.
"There will be breezy conditions behind the cold front on Monday, especially in Michigan and northern Indiana," Searles said.
Cooler air will also build across the region behind this storm system to begin the workweek. Daytime high temperatures will run about 5-10 degrees below average, despite abundant sunshine. Places across northern Michigan may fail to get out of the 60s.
