 .DISCUSSION...
 Overall, a calm and relatively clear night is expected across the 
 area. 
 
 It will be much warmer on Sunday, with many locations rising into 
 the 80s outside of the mountains. However, showers and storms are 
 expected to develop by late afternoon or early evening as a cold 
 front approaches the area. Some of these storms could be strong to 
 severe with large hail and damaging winds, particularly in Southeast 
 Ohio and the Mid Ohio Valley region. 
 
 More seasonable temperatures are expected for Monday behind the 
 front, along with a brief period of dry weather through mid week.
