.DISCUSSION...

Key Message:

1) Gusty conditions return Saturday, but more moisture increases
   RH areawide. 

2) Gusty and dry conditions return on Sunday, with fire weather
   concerns returning. 


Temperatures will trend warmer into the upcoming weekend.
Warmest readings are forecast along and east of the Blue Ridge
where readings will return to above normal. Caveat, there will 
be some clouds and showers around and a bit higher Rh, so there 
is a trade off. Winds will increase again over the weekend, so 
not totally out of the woods with respect to wind either. Dry
air looks to return on Sunday, with windy conditions lingering.
This may increase fire weather concerns across the area once
again, with possible fire danger statements needing to be issued
for portions of the area. 

In a nutshell, several more days of heightened awareness.

As for rain potential... Little or no measurable rain is 
expected until middle of next week.
