.DISCUSSION...
Record-breaking heat will continue through Saturday with
temperatures feeling more like May than early March. A strong cold
front will move through Saturday afternoon and evening, bringing a
line of thunderstorms. Some of these storms could be severe, with
the main threat being damaging wind gusts. We are also watching the
potential for a few tornadoes and heavy rain that could lead to
flash flooding, especially in southeast Ohio and northern West
Virginia. Much cooler and drier weather returns for Sunday, but the
warmup begins again on Monday.
