The primary risks include damaging winds, large hail, and isolated tornadoes, particularly between 4 p.m. and 10 p.m. on Saturday. The Level 2 severe weather risk covers a broad area, including most of Pennsylvania and Ohio, and parts of New York and New England.

The extent of the slight risk area is unusual, and some locations may see an upgrade to a Level 3 risk as models refine their predictions.
