..SYNOPSIS...
 
AFTER A HOT AND MOSTLY DRY START...IT LOOKS LIKE IT WILL BE TURNING
WETTER AND COOLER FOR THE BALANCE OF THE LABOR DAY WEEKEND.
 
A COLD FRONT WILL MAKE A SLOW APPROACH TODAY AND TONIGHT...CROSSING
THE OHIO RIVER OVERNIGHT AND REACHING THE I-79 VICINITY BY MONDAY
MORNING.  SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM CHANCES WILL INCREASE AS THE
BOUNDARY APPROACHES.  A FEW STORMS COULD BE STRONG THIS AFTERNOON
AND EVENING.
 
THE FRONT WILL MOVE ON THROUGH THE WEST VIRGINIA MOUNTAINS BY MONDAY
AFTERNOON.  AS A RESULT...IT MAY START TO DRY OUT ACROSS THE MIDDLE
OHIO VALLEY...BUT IT IS LIKELY TO REMAIN DAMP IN THE MOUNTAINS INTO
MONDAY NIGHT.
 
THE BALANCE OF THIS NEW WEEK ALSO LOOKS WET...AS THE REMNANTS OF
TROPICAL STORM LEE RIDE UP ALONG THE FRONT.  IN FACT...HEAVY TO
POSSIBLY EXCESSIVE RAIN IS POSSIBLE WITH THIS SYSTEM...THE GREATEST
THREAT BEING TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT.  TH SYSTEM WILL THEN
GRADUALLY WEAKEN AS IT MEANDERS ABOUT THE OHIO AND TENNESSEE VALLEYS
THE BALANCE OF THE WEEK...SO WE CANNOT SAY WITH CERTAINTY WHEN THE
NEXT RAIN FREE DAY WILL BE.
