.DISCUSSION...
 
SATURDAY IS THE BETTER BET FOR OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES THIS WEEKEND...
AS THE HOT WEATHER CONTINUES.  ONLY SCATTERED AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORMS
ARE EXPECTED.  A COLD FRONT APPROACHING THE AREA ON SUNDAY WILL GIVE
RISE TO STRONG THUNDERSTORMS.  THEY ARE LIKELY TO START FORMING OVER
THE MIDDLE OHIO VALLEY AROUND MIDDAY...AND THEN RAKE ACROSS WEST
VIRGINIA DURING THE AFTERNOON...AND THE CENTRAL APPALACHIANS
SUNDAY EVENING.
 
THE FRONT WILL STRUGGLE TO EXIT MONDAY...WITH SHOWERS LINGERING OVER
THE CENTRAL APPALACHIANS.  HIGH PRESSURE WITH DRY AIR...AND NEAR
SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES...WILL DOMINATE FOR MOST OF THE REMAINDER OF
THE WEEK.  THIS WILL BRING A WELCOME REPRIEVE FROM THE HEAT...THE
HUMIDITY...AND THE NEAR DAILY THUNDERSTORM THREAT OF LATE.
