    Warmer & muggy with rain showers and isolated thunder ahead of a cold front crossing the Lakes today & tonight. Rain Tuesday. Drying out with lots of sunshine for the second half of the work week. We'll keep warmer conditions into the holiday weekend.

    Warm front lifts north today ahead of a cold front crossing the Southern Great Lakes. We have a sun/cloud mix with highs in the low 80s today. There is a slight chance for severe weather to fire off this afternoon/evening, especially along the Ohio River. Elsewhere, we'll see showers and perhaps an isolated storm overspreading into our area this evening into the overnight.

    For tonight, we have a relatively warm, muggy night on tap. Low level clouds and lots of moisture will keep lows in the mid 60s. Rain showers & potential for severe weather continues into Tuesday. Highs will be in the low to mid 80s again. System may weaken upon crossing the Ohio River Valley. Still have to keep possiblity of precip in the forecast until Tuesday evening.

    High pressure will build into our area by Tuesday night. We'll begin to see clearing skies Tuesday night into Wednesday. Lots of sunshine is on tap for midweek. Highs will be in the low to mid 80s Wednesday and Thursday. Warmer air & moisture on deck Friday. Not impressed with our weekend forecast ATTM.
