.DISCUSSION...

Dry weather is expected to last until Friday for much of the
area.

Temperatures will increase significantly, with 80s/90s to near 
100 degrees by later this week for urban areas and the Piedmont. 
Minimum RH values will fall into the 30s to 40s percent range for 
portions of the area today through Friday. Due to high 
pressure being overhead, winds are expected to remain light until
Saturday aside from some increased NE winds near 10 mph possible 
Friday for part of the Piedmont. Friday looks to see an increased 
chance of showers and storms mainly across the mountains then
becoming more widespread for the weekend.
