saturday. winds will veer east-southeasterly and increase as the 
low approaches. some gusts could approach gale thresholds, 
particularly friday night into saturday morning. whether 
borderline gales will be widespread enough to warrant gale 
warnings remains uncertain at this time. widespread showers and
storms will accompany the approaching/passing area of low pressure
friday night through at least saturday night, with widespread 
severe weather not expected. winds will shift northeasterly as 
the low slowly moves into the ohio river valley sunday into the
