.DISCUSSION...

A cold front pushes southeastward today with showers moving out of 
the Piedmont this evening. Abnormally warm temperatures are 
expected to continue across the region through the first part of 
the work week. Thankfully we will remain relatively humid as well.
Minimum RH values Monday will be in the 30 to 40% range areawide,
then RH values improve for the mountains Tuesday but stay in the 
same range for the Piedmont Tuesday. By late Wednesday, chances 
for widespread wetting rainfall return with a stronger cold 
frontal passage. 

Very gusty WNW winds develop Thursday behind the front as 
relative humidity drops. The front will also knock down the
temperatures into the 40s and 50s however. The combination of
gusty winds and lower RH values may continue into Friday, when
temperatures rebound somewhat.
