.DISCUSSION...
Areas of fog can be expected early this morning, with much of the
remainder of today looking to be dry and pleasant. However, another
storm system will bring showers and thunderstorms tonight into
Thursday. Flash flooding will still be a concern with this next
system, given the very saturated ground and high water levels on
many rivers, creeks, and streams, however, it should be more
isolated in nature than in recent days.
A disturbance could provide additional showers and thunderstorms on
Friday for some areas, although southeast Ohio should remain dry.
A cold front will then move through on Saturday, with additional
precipitation possible.
