..SYNOPSIS...
 
HIGH PRESSURE DEPARTS THIS MORNING...AS A COLD FRONT MOVES OUR WAY
FROM THE MIDWEST. PREFRONTAL SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS INCREASE LATE
AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING IN SOUTHEAST OHIO. THE SHOWERS AND STORMS
THEN CROSS INTO WEST VIRGINIA AND NORTHEAST KENTUCKY LATE EVENING
INTO TONIGHT.
 
THE COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO SLOW DOWN...AS IT CROSSES.  THE FRONT
SHOULD BE PASSING THROUGH THE OHIO VALLEY COUNTIES DURING TUESDAY
MORNING.  HOWEVER...THE FRONT MAY NOT REACH THE MOUNTAINOUS COUNTIES
UNTIL TUESDAY NIGHT.  SO...THE MORNING SHOWERS MAY BECOME STRONGER
AGAIN...IN THE AFTERNOON OVER THOSE MOUNTAINOUS COUNTIES.
 
BY WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON...COOLER AND FRESHER AIR WILL BE MOVING OUR
WAY.  YET...A DISTURBANCE IN THE WINDS ALOFT...MAY STILL CAUSE A
BRIEF PASSING SHOWER WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON OR EARLY EVENING.
 
HIGH PRESSURE SHOULD BUILD OUR WAY FOR THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY...
PROVIDING CHILLY NIGHTS AND COMFORTABLE AFTERNOONS.
