 .DISCUSSION...
 High pressure provides one more comfortably cool morning, along with 
 some patchy river valley fog southeast of the Ohio River, before 
 exiting Thursday.
 
 Another unsettled weather pattern returns late Thursday through the 
 weekend, as temperatures and humidity increase. Thunderstorms may be 
 strong and heavy Thursday evening across portions of the middle Ohio 
 Valley. Additional rounds of rain heading into the weekend could 
 result in renewed flooding concerns.
 
 Drier conditions return on Monday and Tuesday as the heat builds, 
 with a minimal chance for even late-day thunderstorms, even as it 
 remains humid.
