...GUSTY WINDS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE THIS 
AFTERNOON AND EVENING...

LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE NORTH THROUGH THE OHIO VALLEY TO THE GREAT
LAKES TODAY. A COLD FRONT EXTENDING SOUTHEAST FROM THE LOW WILL CROSS
THE REGION THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING, WITH LOW PRESSURE FORMING ON 
THE FRONT JUST OFFSHORE AND TO THE EAST OF OUR AREA.

NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ALONG WITH WIND GUSTS 
TO 30 TO 40 MPH ARE POSSIBLE AS THE COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH. 
MOTORISTS SHOULD WATCH FOR LOCALIZED PONDING OF WATER ON ROADS, AND 
LEAVE ADDITIONAL TIME TO REACH YOUR DESTINATION THIS AFTERNOON AND 
EVENING. ROADS MAY BE SLIPPERY DUE TO THE COMBINATION OF RAIN AND 
WET LEAVES, AS LEAVES WILL BE FALLING DURING PERIODS OF HEAVIER 
SHOWERS AND GUSTY WINDS. 

DUE TO THE STRONG WINDS JUST OFF THE SURFACE, ANY ISOLATED 
THUNDERSTORMS COULD LOWER STRONG GUSTY WINDS TO THE GROUND. IF THIS 
WERE TO HAPPEN WHERE ANY SHALLOW-ROOTED OR DISEASED TREES WERE 
WEAKENED BY WET GROUND, ITS POSSIBLE THAT SUCH A TREE COULD FALL. 
SO, ITS ALWAYS A GOOD IDEA TO BE INSIDE A STURDY STRUCTURE DURING 
HEAVY SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS FOR SAFETY'S SAKE.
      
THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE POTENTIAL 
FOR ADVERSE WEATHER AND ADDITIONAL STATEMENTS WILL BE ISSUED AS 
NEEDED.

STAY TUNED TO NOAA WEATHER RADIO AND OTHER LOCAL MEDIA FOR FURTHER
DETAILS OR UPDATES.
