 .DISCUSSION...
 A spotty shower or two cannot be ruled out across the northern West 
 Virginia this evening and tonight with the passage of a front, but 
 most areas should remain dry.
 
 It will turn cooler behind the front for Thursday, but warm weather 
 will return Friday ahead of another cold front. That front will 
 bring better chances of light rain showers Friday night as it 
 crosses. After a rather cloudy start, clouds will give way to 
 sunshine from the middle Ohio Valley to the central Appalchians 
 during the day on Saturday. Otherwise, a cool, dry balance of the 
 weekend is on tap as high pressure builds into the area.
 
 The high slides east of the area during the early portion of the new 
 work week, allowing a return south to southwest flow to bring about 
 another dry stretch, with a warming trend.
