 .DISCUSSION...
 Unseasonably warm weather continues the rest of the week, with 
 temperatures feeling more like April than February. Highs today 
 through Friday will be in the 60s across the lower elevations. It 
 will get breezy, even windy today as the chance for rain showers 
 returns, the rain showers most likely in northern West Virginia, due 
 a system whisking by to the north of the area.
 
 A stronger system is more likely to bring rain showers, even a 
 thunderstorm or two, Thursday through Thursday night, followed by 
 colder and possibly unsettled weather for the weekend, and into the 
 next work weed.
