.DISCUSSION... 
Low pressure over the southeastern United States will move
off the Mid-Atlantic Coast this afternoon. This storm system 
was producing snow across the Virginias, mixed rain and snow 
for northern North Carolina, and mainly rain farther south. All 
of the precipitation is expected to come to an end by this 
afternoon, replaced by high pressure for Saturday. Actual 
clearing may be slow, so expect clouds and potential for fog and
drizzle to linger through Friday night. Another front moving 
in from the west may bring a chance of precipitation late Sunday
into Monday.
