.DISCUSSION...
Temperatures rise above normal amid drier but breezy conditions
today. Winds will gradually increase by mid morning, becoming
gusty this afternoon up to 26 mph. Warmer temperatures and good
mixing by increasing winds may drop relative humidity into the
mid 20s, and event in the upper teens by 4 PM this afternoon.
A system moves into the region on Saturday with showers and
thunderstorms clipping portions of southeast Ohio and West Virginia.
Chances of rain and thunderstorms will be possible for Sunday,
although not as prominent as expected on Saturday, as a frontal
passage takes place into Monday.
Another system quickly moves into the region later on Monday with a
frontal passage on Tuesday morning. This system will keep rain and
thunderstorm chances on the table for the area, however high
pressure will then build in and likely give us a break through
midweek.
