...DISCUSSION...
 
A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL MOVE EAST ACROSS THE AREA TONIGHT....
ACCOMPANIED BY SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WITH WATER CONCERNS.
AHEAD OF THE FRONT TODAY...A WARM AND MOIST ATMOSPHERE WILL GENERATE
SCATTERED MAINLY AFTERNOON SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS.  THE WEATHER
WILL DRY OUT FROM WEST TO EAST ACROSS THE MIDDLE OHIO VALLEY AND THEN
THE CENTRAL APPALACHIANS ON FRIDAY...AS THE FRONT PUSHES OFF TO THE
EAST. THE NEXT COLD FRONT IS LIKELY TO BRING SHOWERS...AND PERHAPS
EVEN A THUNDERSTORM...AS IT CROSSES SATURDAY MORNING. THIS WILL MAKE
FOR A RATHER CHILLY CLOSE TO THE WEEKEND. HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING IN
FOR SUNDAY NIGHT WILL MAKE FOR A CLEAR...CALM AND RATHER CHILLY
NIGHT. AFTER A MAINLY DRY MONDAY...IT IS BEG INNING TO LOOK LIKE A
SERIES OF LOW PRESSURE SYSTEMS WILL MAKE FOR UNSETTLED WEATHER...
FOR MUCH OF THE BALANCE OF THE NEW WORK WEEK.
