 .DISCUSSION...
 Record-breaking heat will continue through Saturday with 
 temperatures feeling more like May than early March. A strong cold 
 front will move through Saturday afternoon and evening, bringing a 
 line of thunderstorms. Some of these storms could be severe, with 
 the main threat being damaging wind gusts. We are also watching the 
 potential for a few tornadoes and heavy rain that could lead to 
 flash flooding, especially in southeast Ohio and northern West 
 Virginia. Much cooler and drier weather returns for Sunday, but the 
 warmup begins again on Monday.
