STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE TUESDAY EVENING.

A FLASH FLOOD WATCH MAY BE NEEDED.

...DISCUSSION...

A WEAKENING MID AND UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE WILL PASS OVER TODAY...
WITH SHOWERS AND STORMS EXPECTED. THE BEST CHANCE OF THESE WILL BE
ACROSS WEST VIRGINIA...WITH LOWER CHANCES IN SOUTHEAST OHIO...
NORTHEAST KENTUCKY AND SOUTHWEST VIRGINIA.  CLOUDS WILL BEGIN TO CLEAR
OVERNIGHT...SETTING THE STAGE FOR DENSE RIVER VALLEY FOG BY EARLY
TUESDAY MORNING. ON TUESDAY...WARMER TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED...
OUT AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT. THE PREFRONTAL SHOWERS AND
STORMS MAY REACH INTO THE OHIO VALLEY COUNTIES BY TUESDAY EVENING.
UNFORTUNATELY FOR THOSE WEARY OF THE SHOWERY PATTERN...THAT FRONT
SEEMS LIKELY TO STALL IN OHIO AND NORTHERN WEST VIRGINIA ON WEDNESDAY.
AS A RESULT...THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY COULD RE MAIN IN OUR VICINITY
DURING THE LATTER PART OF THE WEEK...PROVIDING ROUNDS OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS. YET...THE HIGHER CHANCES OF SHOWERS SHOULD SHIFT NORTH
INTO OHIO AND NORTHERN WEST VIRGINIA...RATHER THAN EASTERN KENTUCKY
AND SOUTHERN WEST VIRGINIA.
