 .DISCUSSION...
 Near record warmth is in place across the region early this 
 afternoon, with temperatures near 80 degrees and gusty winds. This 
 warm air is fueling a line of strong to severe thunderstorms that 
 will sweep across the area from west to east between 1 PM and 
 midnight tonight. The main threat with these storms is damaging wind 
 gusts that could knock down trees and power lines. An isolated 
 tornado or large hail is also possible, mainly across southeast Ohio 
 and northern West Virginia. Heavy rain could cause localized flash 
 flooding in areas where the ground is already wet.
