 .DISCUSSION...
 A weakening line of storms will move into southeast Ohio early 
 tonight, bringing a chance for strong winds in some locations, while 
 much of the rest of the area remains dry and quite mild. The main 
 weather event for the week occurs on Wednesday as a cold front moves 
 through. This front will bring showers and thunderstorms, some of 
 which could produce damaging wind gusts and heavy downpours. The 
 heavy rain could lead to localized high water issues. Thursday will 
 be noticeably cooler and mostly dry. However, the front returns 
 north on Friday, bringing a wet and unsettled pattern back to the 
 region that will last right through the Memorial Day weekend.
