...DISCUSSION...

A SPRING FEVER ALERT REMAINS POSTED INTO TUESDAY NIGHT...AS THE
QUITE MILD AIR DOMINATES. HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED OVER THE SOUTHEASTERN
STATES WILL DOMINATE OUR WEATHER TODAY...WITH DRY WEATHER AND WARMER
AFTERNO ON TEMPERATURES THAT WILL REACH TO AROUND 70 DEGREES. A STRONG
LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL SLIDE UP THE OHIO RIVER VALLEY LATER TONIGHT
AND WEDNESDAY. THIS WILL DRAG A COLD FRONT THROUGH...WITH FALLING
TEMPERATURES BY WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. MOST OF US WILL START THE DAY
WITH RAIN...HOWEVER AS THE COLDER AIR MOVES IN THAT RAIN WILL CHANGE
TO SNOW. A FEW THUNDERSTORMS EARLY WEDESDAY ARE NOT OUT OF THE
QUESTION. A COLD NIGHT IS ON TAP FOR WEDNESDAY NIGHT BEHIND THE
COLD FRONT...AND IT WILL BE A STRUGGLE TO GET ABOVE FREEZING THURSDAY.
SOUTHERLY WINDS ON FRIDAY WILL PROVIDE FOR MODERATING TEMPERATURES.
ANOTHER COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED ON SATURDAY.
