Storms for Wednesday

The forecasts as of late seem like a broken record…warm each day with scattered afternoon storms. Wednesday will be no different, with the exception being that the afternoon/evening showers and thunderstorms will be a bit more numerous in coverage. The stubborn stationary front that has been draped over the Ohio Valley will finally begin to lift north as a warm front through the day. That places the tri-state in the “warm sector” of the whole storm system, which should allow for a fairly dry morning. However, as the afternoon/evening hours roll around, a cold front will be pushing towards our area, helping to spark the development of showers/thunderstorms, some of which may be strong/heavy. I do not expect any widespread severe thunderstorms across the Ohio Valley, but an isolated severe cell or two cannot be ruled out. The rain will begin to really taper off on Thursday, which will set the stage for a brilliant Friday!
