.DISCUSSION...
Dry weather should continue through the weekend as a strong high 
pressure over the southeastern US will remain over the area.

Minimum afternoon relative humidity today will range from around
25 percent along and east of the Blue Ridge to around 45 percent
in western Greenbrier County.  

Winds reduce slightly this evening with gusts of 10-15mph possible 
before increasing again on Sunday. A cold front over the Great Lakes 
and Ohio Valley will push into the Mid Atlantic region on Sunday and 
Sunday night with clouds but little to no precipitation in the area. 
Wind gusts of 20-30mph will be likely due to this frontal passage
along/west of the Blue Ridge. Temperatures will gradually warm 
through Wednesday. A strong cold front will cross the eastern 
United Stated Wednesday leading in a chance of precipitation and 
colder air.
