.DISCUSSION...
At the surface, dense Canadian high pressure builds in, allowing 
winds to stay predominantly WNW. Wind gusts this morning are 
generally in the 25 to 35 mph range as reinforcing cold air blasts
into the area early this morning behind another boundary. A Wind 
Advisory remains in effect from the southern Blue Ridge and along 
the I-81 corridor, where taller vehicles may feel the impacts, 
with gusts in the advisory area to 50 mph, until 11 AM. Winds 
decrease for a few hours, but become gustier late tonight into 
early Friday, as another surge of CAA and an increasing pressure
gradient develops. Cooler and dry conditions remain in place 
through Saturday. Rain chances return again by Sunday as another 
low pressure system approaches the region.

Today and Friday afternoons, minimum RH values will drop into the
20 to 30 percent range east of the Blue Ridge. On Saturday 
afternoon, minimum RH values drop to 20 to 30 percent across the 
entire area.
