.DISCUSSION...

Most of the service area received a wetting rainfall last night 
into early this morning. Totals were highest along & west of I-77, 
where at least 0.75" fell, with amounts then tapering down further 
east to less than 0.25" falling along the crest of the Blue Ridge 
and points eastward.

Fire weather concerns are likely to be lower today than in past
days considering the rainfall this morning moistened fuels. Winds 
will be less than 10 mph from the southwest, occurring under a 
mixture of high clouds and sunshine and minimum afternoon humidity 
holding above 40 percent. A strong cold front will pass across the 
lower Mid-Atlantic on Sunday afternoon and evening, bringing 
sharply colder air and breezy northwest winds to the area for 
Monday through Tuesday night.
