Here is the latest weather synopsis for the Middle Ohio Valley and Central Appalachians issued at 10.02 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time. Remaining hot and humid with showers and thunderstorms. High pressure keeps the heat and humidity going this weekend, along with the chance for showers and thunderstorms each day, mainly during the afternoon and evening hours. A storm or two could be marginally severe, but heavy rainfall leading to localized flash flooding will likely be more of a problem. Strengthening high pressure will decrease the chance for showers and thunderstorms early next week. However, the heat and humidity will continue. A cold front will approach by mid to late week. Showers and thunderstorms will return ahead of it, and then a refreshing change to cooler and much less humid weather is expected next weekend. Be sure to stay hydrated and take breaks in the shade or air conditioning until the heat wave breaks. The forecast for the Tri-State area issued at 6.42 p.m. Rest of tonight, partly cloudy.
