 .DISCUSSION...
 Dry conditions continue for the middle Ohio Valley today and 
 tonight, while showers and thunderstorms are possible in and near 
 the central Appalachians this afternoon and tonight.
 
 A potent system for Midsummer has the potential to bring impactful 
 severe weather to the area Tuesday. Damaging winds, hail, and a 
 tornado or two will be possible, in addition to heavy rain. Timing 
 for severe storms currently appears to be Tuesday afternoon and 
 evening in at least two rounds. Flash flooding is also a concern 
 with heavy rainfall from thunderstorms, especially where heavy 
 rainfall is most persistent or repetitive.
 
 Drier and cooler weather arrives Wednesday through Friday, with 
 additional storm chances forecast this weekend.
