 .DISCUSSION...
 A Round of strong to severe storms will be passing through tonight. 
 Damaging winds are the main hazard, but hail and the chance for a 
 tornado or two remains possible. Thunderstorms could also produce 
 heavy downpours which may result in flash flooding.
 
 While showers and thunderstorms are still possible in eastern and 
 northern portions of West Virginia Saturday, the severe threat 
 should be over, though it will be windy.
 
 Dry weather is currently expected to return for the second half of 
 this upcoming weekend, but another stretch of unsettled weather 
 appears to be on tap again for the next work week, as another low 
 pressure system slowly crosses.
