A COLD FRONT AND DAYTIME HEATING COULD RESULT IN A FEW STRONG
STORMS TODAY THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS. SOME OF THESE STORMS
COULD PRODUCE GUSTY WINDS...SMALL HAIL AND HEAVY RAIN. WATER
PROBLEMS CAN NOT BE RULED OUT WITH SLOW MOVING STORMS.
 
..DISCUSSION...
 
AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE CROSSES THE AREA TODAY. THIS WILL
BRING SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS SOUTHEAST OHIO...
NORTHEAST KENTUCKY...SOUTHWEST VIRGINIA AND WEST VIRGINIA.
THESE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BECOME MORE WIDESPREAD THIS
MORNING...AND STRONGER TOWARDS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING AS THEY
MOVE NORTH.
 
THE SYSTEM WILL MOVE OUT THIS EVENING...BUT ANOTHER SYSTEM...
APPROACHING FROM THE NORTHWEST...WILL BRING ANOTHER ROUND OF
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND PERHAPS A THUNDERSTORM LATER TONIGHT.
A COLD FRONT...ASSOCIATED WITH THE SECOND SYSTEM...PUSHES
SOUTH...BRINGING DRIER AIR INTO THE AREA BEHIND IT. IT WILL
REMAIN SEASONABLY WARM...WITH AN AFTERNOON SHOWER OR THUNDERSTORM
STILL POSSIBLE IN THE MOUNTAINS.
 
A WEAK WEATHER SYSTEM MAY ARRIVE EARLY NEXT WEEK...OTHERWISE...
WE EXPECT WARM WEATHER WITH MAINLY AFTERNOON AND EVENING SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS IN THE AREA.
