 .DISCUSSION...
 Showers and thunderstorms can be expected today. A Flash Flood Watch 
 is in effect for northern and central West Virginia, southeast Ohio, 
 and portions of northern Kentucky through tonight. Because the 
 ground is already wet from recent rainfall, mudslides and uprooted 
 trees are also possible. 
 
 A cold front will push the moisture out of the area by mid-day 
 Thursday, bringing mostly dry and pleasant weather through the 
 weekend.
