 .DISCUSSION...
 A cold front could bring showers and thunderstorms to the middle 
 Ohio Valley tonight, and will bring showers across the area this 
 morning. Thunderstorms may also fire up later today, but with clouds 
 and showers already in play in the morning, the storms will not be 
 especially strong.
 
 After a mainly dry and pleasant finish to the weekend on Sunday, 
 active weather looms for at least the start of the next work week, 
 with another cold front, and then possible additional disturbances. 
 The weather will generally trend gradually cooler during the middle 
 to latter portion of next week.
