 .DISCUSSION...
 Scattered to numerous thunderstorms will move across the region this 
 afternoon and evening. Some of these storms could pack a punch with 
 damaging wind gusts and heavy downpours that could lead to localized 
 flooding, especially in northeast Kentucky and urban areas. A cold 
 front will sweep through tonight, bringing cooler and drier air to 
 the northern half of the area for Thursday. High temperatures on 
 Thursday will only reach the upper 60s to near 70 degrees. The break 
 from the rain will be short-lived, as the front moves back north on 
 Friday. Expect a wet start to the Memorial Day weekend, with showers 
 and thunderstorms likely on Friday and continuing off and on through 
 Monday.
