 .DISCUSSION...
 Summer-like weather will continue through the week, with highs in 
 the 80s, and mainly afternoon and evening showers and storms 
 possible each day. Any thunderstorms that do form in southeast Ohio 
 and northern West Virginia this afternoon and evening can become 
 strong to marginally severe. Showers and storms are most likely with 
 a system late Thursday through Thursday night, and then again with a 
 strong cold front this weekend.
 
 Minimum afternoon relative humidity percentiles will bottom  out in 
 the 20s and 30s through at least the next 7 days. With breezy 
 conditions most days, and only a couple of opportunities for a 
 conditional wetting rain, afternoon and evening fire danger is 
 likely to be enhanced.
