.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.
