Good morning, Stark County. Batten down the hatches, folks! The National Weather Service has issued a hazardous weather outlook for our area today, with severe thunderstorms expected between noon and 8 p.m. While high winds pose the primary threat, the possibility of large hail and isolated tornadoes means this isn't your average spring shower. If you're planning outdoor activities, consider rescheduling or keeping a very close eye on those weather alerts.
On a brighter note, Canton's aging digital marquees are getting a much-needed $300,000 facelift, with new high-resolution LED displays coming to the Civic Center and Cultural Center for the Arts by year's end. And families looking for weekend plans should head to Massillon's Safe Kids Day this Saturday, where children can learn about everything from bike safety to internet protection while enjoying free food, activities, and even drone demonstrations from the Sheriff's Office.

⚡ Severe thunderstorms threaten Canton with possible tornadoes today. The National Weather Service has issued a hazardous weather outlook for the Akron-Canton area, with storms likely between noon and 8 p.m., particularly after 5 p.m. High winds are the primary threat, though large hail and isolated tornadoes are also possible. Officials recommend staying in secure locations during warnings, avoiding windows, and not sheltering under trees. After today's storms, the forecast shows improving conditions with mostly sunny weather returning Wednesday.
🏟️ Canton's aging digital marquees get $300,000 makeover. The city council approved replacement of two non-functioning signs at the Canton Memorial Civic Center and Cultural Center for the Arts campus. ArtsInStark will reimburse the city for the cultural center's portion of the project. The new marquees will feature 12-by-10-foot high-resolution LED displays with programmable colored lighting, standing nearly 22 feet tall. Officials expect the modern signs to improve marketing, enhance customer communication, and boost the campus appearance when installed by year's end.
