 .DISCUSSION...
 A high wind warning is in effect for Perry and Morgan counties in 
 Ohio, as well as the higher elevations of Pocahontas and Randolph 
 counties. A wind advisory is in effect elsewhere outside of far 
 southern West Virginia and southwest Virginia. Due to the strong 
 winds and dry conditions, there will be an elevated fire threat 
 today across southeast Ohio, northeast Kentucky, and much of West 
 Virginia.
 
 Drier weather continues through most of the weekend, but another 
 potent system affects the area late Sunday into Tuesday. Rain and 
 snow, gusty winds, and much colder temperatures will return as a 
 result Monday and Tuesday. Light snow accumulations are possible in 
 the mountains.
