 .DISCUSSION...
 High pressure will keep the area warm and dry through much of 
 Wednesday. A cold front then bring showers and thunderstorms to the 
 area Wednesday night into early Friday. The main concern will be the 
 potential for heavy rain with training thunderstorms, which could 
 result in localized flash flooding. A few storms could be on the 
 heavy side with strong winds, particularly early Wednesday night 
 across portions of southeast Ohio.
 
 The upcoming weekend looks to feature seasonably warm temperatures 
 and at least some potential for showers and storms.
