An April that has featured almost two dozen tornado warnings in our area may add a few more before it's done.

The tornado warnings and severe weather was concentrated in the Upper Midwest on Monday as a storm tracks northeast toward Canada.

That low will send a cold front down into the Ohio Valley Tuesday, setting off some potential strong to severe thunderstorms.

We'll start Tuesday quiet with sunshine and a breeze that will send readings back into the 80s by midday. However, storms will start to develop in Ohio first and then track east into West Virginia and south across Kentucky.

Given the warmth and increased humidity available to these storms large hail and damaging wind gusts are possible in pockets as they move through the region into the evening.

While low level rotation in the atmosphere isn't strong it could be enough to prompt some tornado warnings during that timeframe. Remember that a tornado warning can mean that radar is suggesting enough spin in a thunderstorm that it could produce a tornado.

If a warning is issued make sure you know the safe area in your home.

Locally heavy rain could result in some brief street flooding into Tuesday night as the activity moves southeast.

Given the myriad of threats, a Weather Alert Day period is indicated from 2 p.m. Tuesday to 2 a.m. Wednesday.

That front will settle over us Wednesday and the atmosphere will likely be worked over.

That should lead to less coverage to storm development but with the front lifting back north as a warm front an isolated severe storm is still possible, especially in Kentucky.

Given the scattered nature to the rain, however, the WVU-Marshall game in Charleston should be able to be played.

Another storm will track north of us Thursday, leading to a warmup as the front shifts north of I-70 temporarily.

Temps will climb back into the mid 80s and that means another round of storms arriving late Thursday ahead of the front can also produce high winds, hail and an isolated tornado.

As a result, another Weather Alert Day period is indicated for late Thursday/Thursday night.

That front will slowly push through Friday with more showers/thunder.

The Dirty Birds season opener at GoMart Ballpark may have some issues getting going without delays. In fact, that front now looks to stall to our east as a wave forms along it. That means more clouds and showers extend into Saturday and since we're west of the front by that time temperatures may have a hard time getting out of the 50s.

We're hoping the front finally exits Sunday leading to a drier end to the weekend but it will be cool with a high in the 60s.

High pressure Sunday night likely leads to another widespread frost threat into Monday morning so don't plant anything yet.
