.DISCUSSION...

High pressure will pass overhead today providing a brief cool 
down, fair dry conditions prevailing through the day.
A warm front will move north, crossing the area Wednesday. This
feature will bring a period of cloudiness followed by warming 
temperatures. Warm weather will then persist through the 
remainder of the week. Can't rule out a few showers during the 
second half of the week, but the main threat for rain will 
remain to our northwest along a front which is expected to stall
over the Ohio Valley.
