.DISCUSSION... 

An upper level low pressure system is moving across the area
this morning bringing scattered light to moderate rain showers 
to most areas north of the North Carolina and Virginia border. 
High pressure once again settles north of the area on Friday 
leading to calm but cool weather before another system works 
its way into region by Friday night. Colder air returns early 
next week.

There are currently no fire weather concerns at this time given
recent rains keeping the top layer of leaf debris moist coupled
with a low December sun angle.
