Key Points – Wednesday, August 16, 2017:
Synopsis: Good Wednesday morning! Today we discuss the increasing chances for showers and storms moving east over the next 2 days as a warm and cold front moves into the Ohio Valley (some of these may be strong with localized heavy rainfall). We clear out for a nice day on Friday before another shot of isolated showers moves east on Saturday (mainly north of I-70 looking right now – not widespread). If you have any questions please let us know, have a blessed day!
