Key Points – Tuesday, August 15, 2017:

Synopsis: Good Tuesday morning! Today we discuss the patchy fog this morning now giving way leading to another overall nice day across the Ohio Valley. Need to continue to watch overnight into Wednesday and Thursday for storm coverage to increase from west to east along a frontal boundary, some of these being strong to severe potentially with localized heavy rainfall. We also touch on a storm chance this weekend and begin to look at the forecast for the solar eclipse on Monday as well. If you have any questions please let us know, have a blessed day!
