 .DISCUSSION...
 Clouds will clear out this afternoon. Frost is possible in the 
 mountain valleys tonight, so be sure to protect any sensitive 
 plants. Monday will be dry and warm, but a line of showers and 
 storms will move in Monday night into Tuesday morning. Dependent on 
 how quickly these storms move out in the morning a second round 
 could be possible for northeast Kentucky and far Western West 
 Virginia Tuesday afternoon. 
 
 More rain and thunderstorms are expected on Wednesday, which will 
 provide some much-needed moisture to the area. Much cooler air 
 arrives by the end of the week, bringing the potential for 
 widespread frost and freeze conditions next weekend.
