Severe weather continues to plague the Midwest! While here, another day of temperatures in the low 80s today. Sun/cloud mix, a few broken bands of rain  with embedded thunderstorm activity expected through tonight. Some storms may be severe, although they will have weakened a bit after crossing the Ohio river. Main threat would be hail and damaging winds. Lows will be around 60 tonight under partly cloudy skies. Thick patchy fog may have time to develop by Wednesday morning.

Wednesday's forecast will be about the same as today. That low pressure disturbance will migrate north and leave only a slight chance of a few isolated showers for the northern & western counties of West Virginia. Elsewhere, sunshine will be on the increase with temperatures again reaching the low 80s...Lows will be around 60 Wednesday night.

Then our chance for rain increases again Thursday & Thursday night as another low pressure disturbance approaches from the west. Some severe weather may develop with that system Thursday. Timing and track still need fine tuning, so stay tuned.

A few rain showers will linger into Friday. Slight chance of showers will stick around Saturday. Another low pressure system arrives Sunday. For now, will settle on rain Friday, generally dry Saturday, then rain again on Sunday. Will iron out the kinks in the holiday forecast as model guidance settles on a solution in the next day or so.
