 .DISCUSSION...
 Warm front crosses tomorrow ushering the start of a significant 
 warming trend as well as reintroducing chances for showers and 
 thunderstorms. Some storms in the afternoon and evening may be 
 strong or even severe across portions of Kentucky and Ohio. Damaging 
 winds are the main concern with any severe storms.
 
 Sunday through Tuesday will feature well above normal temperatures 
 that will be reminiscent to July or August. The lowlands could see 
 highs reach the upper 80s to lower 90s with some locations in the 
 mountains reaching the upper 80s too. There is a chance for some of 
 our climate sites to tie or break some records on Monday or 
 Tuesday.
 
 Next chances for rain will be late Tuesday night and Wednesday with 
 a front which will knock the temperatures back some.
