 .DISCUSSION...
 Areas of fog, dense in spots, are possible through mid morning. 
 Brief high pressure builds across the area through tonight, 
 providing mainly dry conditions amid seasonable temperatures. An 
 upper level disturbance approaches from the southwest overnight 
 tonight, stalling over the central mountains during the weekend. 
 This feature will increase chances for showers and storms, mainly 
 across the south and east Saturday and Saturday night. 
 
 We could see a lull in the precipitation Sunday night into Monday as 
 the upper level disturbance moves away. However, forecasters are 
 monitoring a tropical system that may approach the Carolinas and 
 move inland Monday night or Tuesday. This could push significant 
 moisture into our region, bringing a renewed threat of widespread 
 showers and thunderstorms by mid-week.
