SHOWERS ACROSS THE MIDDLE OHIO VALLEY THIS MORNING...WILL PUSH
OFF TO THE NORTHEAST...AS A FRONT REMAINS STALLED OVER SOUTHEAST

BE QUITE AS WARM AS YESTERDAY...BECAUSE OF THE

ALSO POSSIBLE BY DAWN THURSDAY. A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE AREA
ON FRIDAY...CREATING ADDITIONAL ROUNDS OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS...
SOME OF WHICH COULD CONTAIN STRONG GUSTY WINDS AND HEAVY DOWNPOURS.
