[ Friday, Apr. 18, 2003 ]
Damp and dreary weather will persist for the next several days as slow moving low pressure system inches closer to the region. Currently centered in the Ohio River Valley, this system will bring some scattered showers and light rain to the region today as it approaches. This low pressure system will depart the region on Saturday, but will be quickly replaced by another low pressure system moving out of the Midwest. This second low pressure system will keep clouds across the region, as well as the chance for a shower or two, to start the new week.
