STILL FEEL SOME THUNDER IS POSSIBLE IN OUR AREAS...BUT WILL WE TOUGHER WITHOUT THIS ASSISTANCE. FORECAST FOR TONIGHT WILL HINGE ON ACTIVITY TO THE SOUTHWEST. COULD SEE SOME RESIDUAL RAINFALL FROM THE CONVECTION DURING THE DAY AND EVENING. ANY LINGERING RAIN COULD BE ENHANCED BY A VORT MAX PUSHING THROUGH THE SOUTHEAST OHIO COUNTIES...AND HAVE UPPED POPS TO BE IN TOLERANCE WITH WESTERN NEIGHBORS. MORE OF THE SAME FOR MONDAY...CLOUD COVER WILL DETERMINE THE AMOUNT OF CONVECTION ACROSS THE REGION. ELEVATED HEAT SOURCES TO THE EAST WILL PLAY A ROLE IN THUNDERSTORM FORMATION...WHILE A BIT MORE FORCING WILL BE NEEDED FOR THE LOW LANDS.
