THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR PORTIONS OF NORTHEAST
KENTUCKY...SOUTHEAST OHIO...SOUTHWEST VIRGINIA AND WEST VIRGINIA.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT

WITH A FRONTAL BOUNDARY TO OUR NORTH...WE CONTINUE TO BE ON THE WARM
AND UNSTABLE SIDE.  AS A RESULT...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK FOR SEVERE
WEATHER TODAY AND TONIGHT...MAINLY ACROSS SOUTHEASTERN OHIO AND
EXTREME NORTHWESTERN PORTIONS OF WEST VIRGINIA.  TONIGHT...A COLD
FRONT WILL BEGIN TO SLIDE SOUTHEASTWARD INTO OUR REGION...BRINGING A
HIGHER CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO MUCH OF THE AREA.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY

YET ANOTHER COLD FRONT WILL STILL BE POSITIONED TO OUR NORTHWEST ON
FRIDAY...ALSO SLOWLY PROGRESSING TOWARDS THE CENTRAL APPALACHIANS.
THIS ONE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO MAKE IT TOO FAR SOUTH...POSSIBLY JUST
TO OUR SOUTH OF WEST VIRGINIA BY SATURDAY...AND REMAIN THERE THROUGH
THE WEEKEND...AND EARLY NEXT WEEK.  THIS WILL KEEP A GOOD CHANCE OF
SHOWERS AND STRONG THUNDERSTORMS NEAR THE AREA INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
