    It's another hot, muggy day today with highs around 90. Skies stay mostly sunny during the day. But daytime heating & lots of moist will combine with a weak frontal boundary to bring rain late day showers and thunderstorms to parts of the Midwest, Ohio Valley and northeast. Convective storms are forecast to become organized and spread south into portions of northern West Virginia this evening. NWS has issued a severe thunderstorm warning to expire at 8 PM for nearly all of West Viriginia, eastern OH and parts of PA. Primary threats to our area will be damaging wind and hail.

    Any storms would bring welcome rain & help displace much of the heat of the day. Showers and isolated thunder is expected to continue into tonight. Lows will fall into the low to mid 60s.

    Frontal boundary will waiver over the Appalachians Friday & gradually lift north later Friday. Skies will stay mostly cloudy with just a few peaks of sunshine during the day. Hot forecast with occasional showers and storms will continue Friday and Saturday. Highs will be in the low 90s both days.

    Cold front will arrive Saturday night with more showers and possible severe weather into early Sunday. Then slightly cooler temperatures and drier air will round out our forecast for Sunday PM & for the first few days of next week.
