..SYNOPSIS...
 
MOISTURE IS INCREASING...AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT.
 
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE AROUND TODAY. ONE BATCH IS
FORESEEN THIS MORNING...WITH REDEVELOPMENT EXPECTED DURING THIS
AFTERNOON INTO THIS EVENING.  SOME OF THESE MAY HAVE GUSTY WINDS.
YET...ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE COIN...RAIN IS A GOOD THING...AS MANY
COUNTIES NEED THE RAIN.
 
THE FRONT ITSELF...WILL LIKELY NOT PASS THROUGH SOUTHEAST OHIO UNTIL
WEDNESDAY EVENING...THEN CREEP SOUTHEAST...THROUGH EASTERN KENTUCKY
AND WEST VIRGINIA OVERNIGHT WEDNESDAY NIGHT.  THUS THE REASON TO
HOLD ONTO SOME SHOWERS OVERNIGHT.
 
MORNING CLOUDS SHOULD GIVE WAY TO SUNSHINE BY MIDDAY ON THURSDAY AS
DRIER AIR TRIES TO SINK IN.  TEMPERATURES...WHILE A LITTLE LESS
HARSH...SHOULD STILL BE SEASONABLY WARM.  MOIST SOUTHEAST FLOW MAY
CREATE A FEW LIGHT RAIN SHOWERS THURSDAY NIGHT INTO
FRIDAY...ESPECIALLY IN THE MOUNTAINS.
 
BETTER RAIN CHANCES RETURN IN TIME FOR THE WEEKEND...AS A SERIES OF
WEAK DISTURBANCES PASS IN THE NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT....AND A WEAK
FRONT ARRIVES.  THAT FRONT MAY HANG AROUND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.
